PANEL & PAPER ACCEPTED FOR SIXTEENTH CENTURY SOCIETY CONFERENCE

My panel and paper proposals were accepted for the Sixteenth Century Society Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1-4 Nov., 2018.

The panel will be on how Shakespeare’s plays have not only obvious biblical allusions, but also plot echoes and other influences from the bible and the Book of Common Prayer.

My paper will be on how certain biblical allusions and plot echoes shed light on Hamlet’s character arc.

Also on the panel will be Gayle Gaskill, professor emeritus of the University of St. Catherine in St. Paul, Minnesota, and (William) Dean Clement of Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma.

Gayle edited the New Kittridge ed. of Twelfth Night, and is an assistant ed. of the latest variorum edition; her book contributions include the 2002 collection, “The Merchant of Venice: New Critical Essays”; and “Who Hears in Shakespeare?: Auditory Worlds on Stage and Screen.” She has also written reviews of Shakespeare books and performances.

Dean wrote a wonderful doctoral thesis called, “Anarchic Wills: De Factoism and its Discontents in Shakespeare and Milton,” which includes reflection on Hamlet’s challenge to Claudius’s claims to power.

Looking forward to this. Join us in Albuquerque!
