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,

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, 8 months agoHello, Everybody Shakespearean,
