Translation on MLA Commons 11 years, 4 months agoHi, Prithviraj,
Agreed with the excellent suggestions in previous posts; and it is a huge topic.

Literature of the English Renaissance, Excluding Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 5 months agoThe Robt Greene topic reminds me. Renn. scholars in the U.S. should be aware of work in Britain which has changed/supplemented knowledge of earlier drama. Greg Walker’s work is a good key to the whole and and his history re-names the “morality” play as part of Tudor Drama in his book of that name, his anthology, and bibliography. Rece…[Read more]

Jessica Winston replied to the topic Books on History of Translation. in the forum
Translation on MLA Commons 11 years, 5 months agoThat’s a big topic. One recent book, focused on the English Renaissance, is English Renaissance Translation Theory (ed. by Neil Rhodes, with Gordon Kendal and Louise Wilson, MHRA, 2013). The introduction provides a nice overview of this trend, at least in England, between about 1485 and 1660. Another source is the series, The Oxford History of…[Read more]

Many of the contributors to that volume also have larger projects that consider Greene, including me, Lori Newcomb, Rob Maslen, and Katharine Wilson. Kristen is right also about the University Wits…[Read more]

Literature of the English Renaissance, Excluding Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 5 months agoHello All,
I’m starting a project looking into the theater scene of London pre-1592, using Robert Greene and his “Conny Catching” pamphlets as my entry point. My hope is to gain a better understanding of the social environment at that time through the different contributors of the “pamphlet wars”, of which Greene seems to be at the center. The…[Read more]

Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoI personally love the idea of Shakespeare and Galileo. Your intuition seems exactly right to see a parallel in the cultural (mental) achievement of the two. For both, the essence was personal observation rather than illustration of pious dogma, such as we think of when we think of medieval thought. But Shakespeare confined himself to the s…[Read more]

A group of us have been thinking and rethinking a documentary film project that would show the value of crossing the line between science and the arts.

great stuff! are you publishing this somewhere?
Hello, the paper is by Thom Bryce (@tbryce); I merely posted it on his behalf. Please do get in touch with him on the Commons! Apologies for the confusion.
thanks, Katina! will do!
I’m struck by the juxtaposition here of Thom Bryce’s paper on grindr and Cheryl Higashida’s earlier cfp for the special issue on ‘Sexing the Left’. Arguably, the former demonstrates the timeliness, and urgency, of the latter.
Thom’s conclusion – that, despite some reservations, a commercial, profit-driven form of new communication such as grind…[Read more]
