Shakespeare Lives On in JHUP Journals

Today marks the 503rd anniversary of William Shakespeare's death. The Bard changed the world of theater and literature in his 52 years.

We are very fortunate to have copious Shakespeare scholarship in our collection, including the journal Shakespeare Bulletin. A search of the word "Shakespeare" in Project MUSE shows more than 5,500 references in JHUP journal issues catalogued there.

So we can't cover everything as we mark this milestone, but we can point out some highlights, as well as some opportunities to learn more from those afffiliated with Shakespeare Bulletin.

• The journal's editor, Kathryn Prince, recently took a new position in Australia. She talked with us about the transition and how it can benefit the journal. 
• A special issue late last year took a look at ecocriticism from a Shakesperean context.
• A 2016 podcast examined a special issue on editing Renaissance drama texts. 
• Continuing the "not Shakespeare" theme of some journal issues, a 2015 podcast looked at how the works of other authors were presented on British television.
