***CALL FOR PAPERS ***Book Collection ***Tudor Drama Before 1590 Last year, we put out a call for papers for a collection on Tudor Drama to 1590. There seems to be plenty of room for a new collection of essays that engage historically, theoretically, and pedagogically with the drama from the canonical moralities of the late 15th and early 16th centuries to the development of mature public theater plays of Kyd and Marlowe. The vision of the volume is to provide a collection that is of use to students and scholars entering the field anew as well as those looking to seek out new scholarly directions or incorporate these texts into their courses. Thus the papers should demonstrate a grasp of work done in the specific area of the paper’s study; they should remind the reader (with good references) of textual and non-print materials relevant to the work; and they should engage with either better-known or lesser-read work or works with the aims of, first, providing a new and intriguing argument about the text(s) and topic(s), and second, leading the reader toward opportunities for further research either in the same or in related areas. So far, we have received a number of high-quality submissions, but we have been quite selective in our acceptances. This call for papers lists the areas in which we have provisionally accepted work so that potential new contributors can see how their interests might fit between or alongside already-submitted work. We would like to move fairly swiftly toward getting a solid proposal to potential publishers, so contributors with full drafts or well-developed ideas will be particularly welcome. Please copy abstracts and papers to [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask] We look forward to receiving contributions from the REED list community.
