Call For Papers: For the Sixteenth Century Society & Conference in Albuquerque, NM (1-4 Nov. 2018), I’ve proposed a panel on how biblical allusions (in many forms) influence our readings of particular Shakespeare plays. Too often, biblical allusions are treated like wallpaper in the plays.

Robert Alter writes of how allusions are like windows to another text, opening up larger conversations.

Short proposals for papers are welcome. Details below. Best to focus on the many forms of biblical allusions in a single play.

(You need not have read any of the books mentioned in the panel description; you need only have an interest in spotting and considering biblical allusions in a Shakespeare play, and interpreting the play in light of them.)

Deadline extended to April 23 to submit proposals to SCSC; please use Panel Code: P02M1518
