Literature of the English Renaissance, Excluding Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 4 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]

Literature of the English Renaissance, Excluding Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 4 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]

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. 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]

Shakespeare on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoHello, Everybody Shakespearean,
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.
At first we were going to make it a conversation between Galileo and Shakespeare–roughly contemporaries.
But granting agencies didn’t like the fictional…[Read more] -

Joshua Begley replied to the topic Science Fiction Readers Demographics in the forum
Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 9 months agoI don’t know as much about Latin American fantastic literature as I’d like, so I’m very interested in what you had to say, Silvia. In general, it always strikes me as odd how conservative academics can be. And in a broader sense, the whole concept of “legitimate” is troublesome because of the power issues underlying who decides what is and is not,…[Read more]

Silvia G. Kurlat-Ares replied to the topic Science Fiction Readers Demographics in the forum
Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 9 months agoI will agree with Josh. However, for Latin America, there is an additional twist. The raise of the fantastic since the mid 1940s until it became the paramount literary “authentic” (for lack of better, quick words) literary form, displaced any other literary form from the center of the cultural field. Debates between realist and fantastic…[Read more]

Unfortunately, no translation available, like for most contemporary production. I hope to start working on…[Read more]
