> No, actually might make a nice topic for a session at Leeds or Zoo: > Persistent Myths Concerning Early (pre-Restoration) Drama. Actually even > "early" has a vaguely bothersome feel to it. I would be happy to organize such a session if MRDS, EDAM, or some other group wants to sponsor it for a future Kalamazoo. My personal favorite ghastly example was in an intro to literature textbook under consideration for a freshman course. Published in 1999, it insisted that no plays before Shakespeare had any actual dramatic value and were worth considering only as historical curiosities. Michelle Butler >
