@AliceWickenden Congrats Alice - and what a great project! I'm currently thinking through something very similar in relation to collections of EM books in Australia/NZ (article forthcoming later this year) - do keep in touch!
Late to the party (thanks ongoing restructure) but here's a wee celebratory post marking the publication last week of the new @OWC_Oxford R&J, with a fresh intro in which I argue (among other things) that Verona might be less fair and more queer than we tend to think...
Uncharacteristically speedy post meant my advance copies of this arrived in NZ today. Writing a fresh intro for the @OWC_Oxford R&J was a true delight - heartfelt thanks to Gen. Ed. @OldFortunatus and the team at OUP for your support! Pub. date April 11.
Playbooks and their Readers in Early Modern England is now available in paperback, and thanks to Routledge's Black Friday sale (till 1 Dec) is currently ACTUALLY AFFORDABLE: https://t.co/EAE4nyuArg
It's been a mixed year workwise, but a highlight was reviewing the proofs for this: https://t.co/DEorJMR65d. An equal delight to introduce Romeo and Juliet for a new generation, and to work with @OldFortunatus as @OWC_Oxford Gen Ed. Look out for it in April!
Seconding this - what a wonderful opportunity @LondonRareBooks provides to connect with scholars from across the globe and to be energized by their passion and expertise. It was so great to learn more about @DORMEME16's brilliant project!
The DORMEME team have experienced an exceptional week studying all things provenance, @LondonRareBooks with the guru himself, David Pearson. What a great opportunity to further our skills whilst meeting likeminded scholars such as @TheAugustHannah. This is why we do what we do!
"As such, it looks far less like a bailout of particular institutions than an admission that the current policy settings are not fit for purpose." @nicgaston nails it again: https://t.co/IrlTv8ZAjA
These sorts of cuts would radically change the profile of VUW and of Wellington as a city - the Theatre programme is a crucial pipeline for the city's arts sector. Solidarity with students and academic staff #saveVUW. https://t.co/cf1nkFMm7T
Typically astute commentary from Nicola Gaston here, including a timely reminder of what the Education Act stipulates NZ universities are & should do: https://t.co/b0JzNjbVOJ
@OldFortunatus Ooh lucky you! Hopefully I'll see you in Oxford before you go - can catch you up on the work I've been doing on playbooks in Antipodean special collections. Will send you an email!
For some Southern Hemisphere-based #folio400 content, here's a blog post I wrote about the Auckland Public Library's First Folio: https://t.co/YixZwaIJA4. Referencing the excellent discussion by @OldFortunatus in The Making of S's FF, of course...
@ClaireMabey asked me to review the new book on Katherine Mansfield by @claire_harman for @TheSpinoffTV, and it was a joyous task: https://t.co/SQxGmBw9Fn.
A year today since the publication of Playbooks and their Readers in Early Modern England! There've been some very kind reviews: @LindseyL_Jones in Shakespeare Quarterly (https://t.co/d8xMVgDXZx) and Jane Rickard in Shakespeare (https://t.co/VuQjdc2qBZ).
Contrary to what they say on their website, Routledge WILL send out hard copies for review - if you'd like me to help you get your hands on one, let me know...
*Now in paperback*
'Shakespeare / Text' edited by @roaringgirle sets new agendas for the study & use of the Shakespearean text. Written by experts on textual matters, each essay challenges the way we read, analyse, teach, perform, & edit Shakespeare.
