A re-posting of the call for those of you who were off-line during the
summer. Please excuse the duplication.
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 (c. 20 pages, in *SQ* format) 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.
