Hello colleagues, The International Shakespeare Association is now calling for registrations and workshop participants for its 2011 conference in Prague (see http://www.shakespeare.org.uk/files/ISANewsletterDec07.pdf). The ISA organizing committee has suggested a seminar titled 'Shakespeare after REED' which I will be co-ordinating with Larry Manley. We welcome expressions of interest from researchers who might like to participate in this session. A brief description of the session follows this message. If you are interested, please contact me or Prof. Manley ([log in to unmask]) -- as well as the ISA. The ISA deadline for registration is coming soon on 15 March. Delegates choose seminars at the point of registration. Sally-Beth (MacLean) ____________________________________________________ No. 36. Shakespeare after REED. Leaders: Sally-Beth Maclean (University of Toronto, Canada) and Lawrence Manley (Yale University, USA) During the past thirty years the Records of Early English Drama (REED) project has published documentary evidence of entertainment in the English provinces in a series of volumes that have contributed to reassessment of professional theatre in the Elizabethan era. This seminar invites papers that explore recent developments in Shakespearean studies stimulated by fresh archival research and/or REED initiatives in the following areas: -- patronage of theatre in all its forms -- acting companies: repertory, provincial touring and London careers, financing -- convergence of medieval and Elizabethan dramatic style and genre -- theatrical spaces: building types, material conditions -- digital applications: research databases, performance texts, data visualization A variety of approaches will be welcomed and need not be restricted to Shakespeare alone, but rather can be applied more broadly to the period of his lifetime. ______________________________________________________ ------ End of Forwarded Message
