A hospice counselor by profession, a Shakespeare junkie for the life and
passion of his words, I've silently monitored this list for 2 years. This first
posting was prompted by a recent raging discussion in my small reading group.
Usually, we read the plays aloud, make brilliant, illuminating observations,
and retire, feeling well fed.  Last week a lively, and occasionally heated
exchange focused on the role of fate vs. cultural and historic contexts in
producing the bittersweet outcome of Romeo & Juliet.
 
The reading I've done over the years suggests that this may be a tired topic
for scholars.  Still, I'd love to receive thoughtful comments on the matter
from any interested parties.

Our students have expressed an interest in courses on women writers in the
early modern period and our library has very little material in this area.
Could I ask members of the list to let me have some suggestions about a good
basic collection and reading list?  Thanks.
