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 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.
