I am soliciting 3 20-minute papers for the session, the title of which has been deliberately left very open. Please email me with descriptive titles before 1 September 1997 (note: I've extended the date from an earlier posting on other lists). If you are able to include an abstract, that would be very helpful, but a brief description (say, 1 or 2 sentences) of your paper will be sufficient at this stage. I won't ask for full abstracts until later because of the short time. If you don't have a title, but are interested in speaking, please email me anyway with your proposal or just to talk through possibilities. Session rationale: I am looking for new readings of Middle English drama texts that are interested equally in cultural history/historical difference, theory, and textuality. Papers that work within theatre history but with an awareness of critical theory and a strong desire to produce 'literary' readings will be especially welcome. Any redefining of the projects of theatre and performance history would be useful. Such readings are being produced, but are as yet having little impact on the field. One aim of this session would be to think about how such new readings might effect a shift in critical thinking about the early drama.
