Forwarded from FICINO: I think it may be of general interest.... A. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 8 Sep 1995 11:05:54 -0500 From: Sara Jayne Steen <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list FICINO <[log in to unmask]> Subject: SQ special issue A re-posting of the call for those of you who were off-line during the summer. Please excuse the duplication. Call for Essays *Shakespeare Quarterly* is soliciting essays for the winter 1996 issue, a special issue on "Teaching Judith Shakespeare," to be guest-edited by Elizabeth H. Hageman and Sara Jayne Steen. Papers should address approaches to and/or implications of teaching sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English women writers in conjunction with Shakespeare. Rather than simply providing useful readings of paired works, teachers might, for example, examine methods of teaching *The Tragedy of Mariam* with *Othello,* *The Convent of Pleasure* with *Love's Labor's Lost,* or Wroth's and Philip's poems with Shakespeare's sonnets; describe how students respond to Portia and Rosalind when Shakespeare's plays are juxtaposed with the writings of Aemilia Lanyer, Arbella Stuart, or Rachel Speght; suggest innovative reconfigurations of courses, treating issues such as language, spirituality, or the pastoral; or explore entirely new courses that emerge when these women's works join Shakespeare's as part of our cultural and literary discussions. Articles (c. 20 pages, in *SQ* format) should be submitted to both Elizabeth H. Hageman, Department of English, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824-3574, and Sara Jayne Steen, Department of English, Montana State University-Bozeman, Bozeman, MT 59717-0230. The deadline for submissions is 31 October 1995. Inquiries are welcome and may be directed to either Professor Hageman or Professor Steen. ************** Elizabeth Hageman [log in to unmask] ************** Sara Jayne Steen [log in to unmask] **************
