Cook <[log in to unmask]> To: Multiple recipients of list FICINO <[log in to unmask]> Subject: SHAKSPER Has Moved to Bowie State University On January 4, 1996. SHAKSPER -- The Electronic Shakespeare Conference -- migrated from the University of Toronto, where it was founded in July 1990, to Bowie State University, the home institution of its owner/editor/moderator -- Hardy M. Cook <[log in to unmask]>. SHAKSPER is the international electronic conference for Shakespearean researchers, instructors, students, and those who share their academic interests and concerns. It currently includes more than 1100 SHAKSPEReans (many of whom are prominent in the field), from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States. Like the national and international Shakespeare Association conferences, SHAKSPER offers announcements and bulletins, scholarly papers, and the formal exchange of ideas -- but SHAKSPER also offers on-going opportunities for spontaneous informal discussion, eavesdropping, peer review, and a sense of worldwide scholarly community. In addition, the SHAKSPER Fileserver offers conference papers and abstracts, an International Directory of Shakespeare Institutes, biographies of conference members, and a variety of announcements, texts, and bibliographies. The daily SHAKSPER digests are organized by subject for the reader's convenience. SHAKSPER digests include conference announcements, member notes and queries, book and theatre reviews, textual debate, discussion of lecture strategies, and much more. No academic qualifications are required for membership in SHAKSPER, and anyone interested in English Literature, the Renaissance, or Drama is welcome to join us. Write to the editor or send a one-line e-mail message, reading "SUB SHAKSPER firstname lastname" to [log in to unmask], and you will receive detailed information with further instructions for becoming a SHAKSPERean.
