Sixteenth Century Society Conference in Albuquerque:
I will present a paper this Fri., Nov. 2, 1:30pm at this conference in New Mexico, on panel 93 with Prof. Emeritus Gayle Gaskill of Minnesota and Prof. Dean Clement of Oklahoma.



Naseeb Shaheen (1931-2009, in the panel title) wrote a large and important work on Shakespeare's biblical influences, but like his predecessors, focused primarily on phrasing and not paraphrase or plot echo. My paper will include insights incubated here about Hamlet, plot echoes of Jonah, Emmaus, Lazarus & the rich man, and sentinel Francisco, whose namesake (Francis of Assisi) foreshadows the other allusions.

Shakespeare will be the *main* focus in numerous other panels at the conference, including
75 F-8:30 Tragedy
145 Sa-10:30 & Religion
172 Sa-3:30 Shakespeare’s Dramatic Works & Their Legacy

Shakespeare among other areas of focus:
53 Th-3:30
88 F-10:30
162 Sa-3:30
170 Sa-3:30
171 Sa-3:30
185 Sn-8:30

Join us if you're there! It runs Thursday-Sunday, with many panels on history, religion, literature, race, gender, Early Modern recipes (!) and more.
