I teach Italian language and literature at the University of Sydney,
NSW, 2006, Australia. I work on fifteenth-century Florentine religious
drama, both from a textual and philological point of view, locating
and publishing manuscript plays, and from a performance and social
history point of view. My study of plays in churches in fifteenth-
century Florence (Annunciation, Ascension and Pentecost), with
documents from state and confraternal archives, is being published by
the Accademia della Crusca. I am currently working on passion plays in
the Colosseum, 1490-1539 (in conjunction with art historian Barbara
Wisch of SUNY at Cortland), and on a sixteenth-century Sienese comedy
project with Laura Caretti and Roberto Bigazzi of the University of
Siena.

I am an ABD at University of Washington,
Seattle. As you might guess I studied medieval drama with
John Coldewey. Apart from that course I have not done much
in the area yet, but I am giving a paper at the MAP conference
on a drama topic, and so would like to keep abreast of
things via the list so as to avoid unnecessary embarrassment!
I heard of REED-L via a listing of medeivalist e-lists recently
circulated on MEDTEXTL and ANSAXNET (where I saw it); can't
remember the name of the poster.

I heard about REED-L in the Net Guide that Torres and Vander Kolk put
together.  I'm a Doctoral student at the University of Colorado at
Boulder, currently getting ready to take my comps.  I spent last
summer as a dramaturg for the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, which
ties me into the end of your timeline, but when I'm not working and
writing for the Theatre, I spent a lot of time studying comparative
folklore and the chance to discuss early ceremony and music from the
British Isles looked too good to pass up.  If you need more
information or a CV, please let me know.  I'm also one of the editors
of the new electronic journal Theatre.Perspectives.International which
will release its first issue at the end of March.  I look forward to
hearing from you and becoming involved with your group -

RE: S.A.Chisholm
[log in to unmask]
 
     I am currently attending The Pennsylvania State University, as a
undergraduate with a double major in History and English.  I will be
recieving my degree in August, and will continue on in the graduate
history program, concentrating in British History.  My areas of
specialization are as follows: Tudor/Stuart England<social and
religous history>, Renaissance Drama, and Medieval English History.
     I am particularly interested in Jacobean/Revenge tragedy.  I am
currently working on a project that looks at the various concepts of
justice expressed in Revenge tragedy, and how those concepts reflect
contemporary social attitudes and the institutions that maintained
accepted codes of behavoir.  I hope to have this completed and ready
to submit for possible publication sometime in late May.  I am working
very hard on this project, as I intend to develop it into my masters
thesis.
     I discovered REED-L after a friend recommended it to me.
