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]

John Harlan Underhill replied to the topic Sci. and Lit. (Shakespeare) Film Project looking for comments in the forum
Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoI personally love the idea of Shakespeare and Galileo.
