Early Modern Renaissance: Local (Alternative) Shakespeare
http://earlymodernrenaissance.blogspot.com/2009/07/local-alternative-shakespeare.html
Notes on literature, history, and culture 1500 to 1700. Friday, July 24, 2009. The Shakespeare festival season is upon us. Always fun, and often revealing of who Shakespeare is in the popular imagination. The town I’ve lived in for two years is, by all measures, stuffed with Boston-area academics, many of them historians. So when I saw the notice for a 400th Anniversary celebration of the publication of the Sonnets. This weekend, I was more than curious. Then I read the program. A sedate, almost orthodox...

http://earlymodernrenaissance.blogspot.com/2009/10/wolf-hall.html

To Hilary Mantel for Wolf Hall. Treating Thomas Cromwell, the Anne Boleyn marriage, and it's dissolution. The title refers to Wolf Hall, the seat of the Seymour family, and home of Henry's next wife, Jane Seymour. Reviews here. The last a terrific review by Colin Burrow in the London Review.

Early Modern Renaissance: August 2009
http://earlymodernrenaissance.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Notes on literature, history, and culture 1500 to 1700. Tuesday, August 25, 2009. Nature's Bias: Sex Testing. In the bewildering and wonderful scene in Twelfth Night. Sebastian’s breezy explanation comes to mind in the current media frenzy surrounding the 18-year-old South African runner, Caster Semenya, who won the women’s 800 meter at the world track and field championships in Berlin, only to have her gender immediately questioned and put to the test. Again and educate the public about her case. Nature...

Early Modern Renaissance: Excuses, excuses ...
http://earlymodernrenaissance.blogspot.com/2011/06/excuses-excuses.html
Notes on literature, history, and culture 1500 to 1700. Monday, June 27, 2011. Excuses, excuses . I'm reviving this, my moribund blog, with a couple excuses. Somewhat incidental to Excuse One, Routledge has updated and reissued the encyclopedia I co-edited with my former advisor, Tudor England: An Encyclopedia. New York: Garland, 2001), in their rebranded reference series. A trifle garish, but nice to have it in paperback now. For Broadview Publishing's Broadview Anthology of British Literature. Thank yo...

Another Shakespeare? The Thomas Middleton Experiment: July 2008
http://anothershakespeare.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
The Thomas Middleton Experiment. Sure I love Shakespeare- I even played a little Shakespeare in college, you know? But I've been feeling guilty about neglecting the other great playwrights of the period. As if on cue, Gary Taylor finally finishes his complete works of Thomas Middleton, trumpeting him to the clouds as "our other Shakespeare." How can I resist? Come on the voyage with me through 3,000 glorious pages of Middleton. A professional in Information Technology and an amateur in many things. Ah, m...
