The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 18.0784 Wednesday, 28 November 2007 From: Christopher Baker <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Monday, 26 Nov 2007 19:47:52 -0500 Subject: Dramatists of Limited Biography Though we know some of the facts of Shakespeare's life, we obviously do not know as much as we would like. How unique is he in this regard among his contemporaries? The entry on John Webster in the DNB, for example, while noting a number of "assumed" conclusions about him, nevertheless fills up a lengthy essay. Which other dramatists of note might be compared to Shakespeare in terms of our level of knowledge about them?

The attribution to Greene seems to be accepted in almost all books on the subject, except very recent ones, and I'm curious why the matter is now considered unsettled. _______________________________________________________________ S H A K S P E R: The Global Shakespeare Discussion List Hardy M.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 18.0781 Wednesday, 28 November 2007 From: Larry Barkley <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. > Date: Tuesday, 27 Nov 2007 20:23:32 -0800 Subject: Shakespeare and Science Fiction Having been asked to talk on the topic "Shakespeare and Science Fiction" to an Honors Seminar, I have attempted to compile an applicable bibliography to distribute to those attending. I have checked the Shaksper archives, searched the Internet, and spoken with science fiction buffs (I have able to acquire most everything listed in the bibliography). The bibliography appears below. If I have omitted works of which list members are aware, I would appreciate people emailing me to let me know what work(s) I have missed. In the list below, I have not included Shakespearean references found in Star Trek or any of the original series' spin-offs; those are readily found at any number of sites on the Internet (I will include them in my final bibliography). I have also left off a theatrical piece title RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET: SHAKESPEARE'S LOST ROCK AND ROLL MUSICAL, for while I was able to find the lyrics, I have been unable to find the script.
