The first issue of a newsletter that tries to suggest Shakespeare’s continuing cultural clout. Work was completed by members of the Fall 2012 Shakespeare class.

Shakespeare Now

After a semester of reading the short verse of early modern Britain, class members of Short Verse of Early Modern Britain (LITT 3226) have selected some of their favorite readings and created micro editions, brief collections of poetry by one poet or many and encompassing a common theme. Each edition has a brief introduction, carefully edited texts, and explanatory notes.

If you read slowly and with enjoyment, each edition might take as long as 20 minutes to read, but that’s about it. We hope you’ll dip into one or several of the collections below. Click on the images to read in pdf form.
