On a related note: the Othello page for my teaching site (The Shakespeare Media Archive) has new material: sites.google.com/ncsu.edu/the...

Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona and the Misidentification of Montemayor’s Diana (1559) GIVEN the apparent consensus on Shakespeare’s sources after 400 years of literary history, it is no surprise that editors and scholars should resort to rep

What a way to end the year:

My article 'Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona and the Misidentification of Montemayor’s Diana (1559)' was published yesterday! academic.oup.com/nq/article-a...

He could really turn a phrase.

Longtime fan of the English Literary Renaissance holiday card. A nice tradition!

Happy to say I’ve received funding to bring our English-Ed majors to the American Shakespeare Center this spring. Grateful to NCSU’s Packways Program & our College’s Teaching Innovation Fund for the support!

Shakespeare Quarterly appreciation post. Cleaning my office and noticed they had a small grey mouse inside the Q. Turns out it’s an homage to Mark Dahlquist’s article “Hamlet and the Snare of Scandal” in that issue.

Whole new page added! Shakespeare and Accessibility. It covers signing and multimodal approaches to Shakespeare. More to be added later too, so feel free to reach out with suggestions. Check it out here: sites.google.com/ncsu.edu/the...

Beautiful hiking in Shenandoah National Park this past weekend. One of my favorite shots of the trip, mostly because I hardly needed the zoom.

The cover of a book. Title reads TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE. The illustration shows black embroidery of flowers, fruit, animals and insects on a stained cream ground.

Today is the OFFICIAL publication day for TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE! Please indulge me: I want to say a little (perhaps rather a lot) about it and share my acknowledgements - and a discount code! Appropriately,🧵1/10

Today’s updates: 1. The RSC’s “I, Cinna (The Poet)” under Julius Caesar. This inaugurates the new “Retellings” feature I hope to expand. 2. A link to a feedback form at the bottom of every page.

The cover of a book. Text reads TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE. The illustration is of black and white embroidery of flowers, fruit, and animals; it's sitting on a blue and white William Morris print cushion.

The table of contents of a book. The chapter titles read Stuff, Linen, Leather/Wool, Silk, Inky Cloak, Sew, Cut, Fold, Ruff.

Somewhat astonishingly, here it is, a book, a thing in the world... More, including acknowledgements, soon❤️

Really looking forward to this one. Thanks for writing it! A whole area of study that I know way too little about.
