Alexandra Berlina started the topic literary scholarship for non-academic pleasure in the forum
Methods of Literary Research on MLA Commons 11 years, 3 months agoDear all,
I’m sorry if this is slightly off-topic, but style and method are closely connected, after all.
Could you recommend me works of literary scholarship which book-loving non-academic might enjoy? I don’t mean book reviews, but texts like Brodsky’s and Nabokov’s essays, or Greenblatt’sWill in the World. Thank you very much! I hope I’m not…[Read more]

Joanne Spencer Kantrowitz started the topic Pre-Shax drama aka Tudor Drama in the forum
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.

Literature of the English Renaissance, Excluding Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 5 months agoKristen beat me to suggesting the Melinkoff/Gieskes volume, which is really the place to start, especially their excellent “Recent Studies” chapter. 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 agoI’m sure you’d find it helpful to check out Kirk Melnikoff and Ed Gieskes’ collaboration, *Writing Robert Greene* ( http://www.ashgate.com/isbn/9780754657019). Robert Logan’s *University Wits* series is also a must-see. Each edition collates important articles relating to each of the wits (Greene, Nashe, Marlowe, Lyly, Lodge, and Peele) – it’s al…[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]
