Shakespeare Bulletin, Special Issue: Beyond Shakespeare on the Small Screen – Call For Papers

Shakespeare Bulletin
Special issue: Beyond Shakespeare on the Small Screen (Fall 2015).

The issue will consider a wide range of adaptations of early modern drama by authors other than Shakespeare produced for media forms that were not primarily conceived for cinema distribution. We are interested in critical and analytical discussions of plays from medieval literature through to the 1630s that have been adapted for broadcast television in Britain or elsewhere, for DVD distribution in either a commercial and/or an educational context, and for other forms of digital or online dissemination.

Proposals of up to 300 words should be sent to the guest editor, John Wyver, at john@illuminationsmedia.co.uk, by 31 March 2014.
