From: Hardy M. Cook (hmcook@boe00.minc.umd.edu) Date: 11/08/92
Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 3, No. 308. Sunday, 8 November 1992. From: Gary Davis <davis@UnbSJ.CA> Date: Saturday, Nov. 7, 1992, 20:44:14 -0400 (AST) Subject: 3.0306 Research Proposal for Comments Comment: Re: SHK 3.0306 Research Proposal for Comments Sounds a little too deconstructionistic to me, but I don't know from nothing. What I really wanted to suggest was that you add UNB Frederciton to your list. They have some pretty good Shakespeare people. Contact Dr. Rowan. - Gary Davis On Sat, 7 Nov 1992, SHAKSPER%UTORONTO.BITNET@UNBMVS1.csd.unb.ca wrote: > Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 3, No. 306.
