A recent issue of *Shakespeare Quarterly* focussed on teaching; I would like to
acquire a copy of just this single issue. Could someone tell me the most
efficient way to do this; do they have e-mail, perhaps? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me, and one of my students, to construe the meaning of this
"proof" that Abhorson's occupation as hangman is a mystery?
 
Every true man's apparel fits your thief: if it be too little for your thief,
your true man thinks it big enough; if it be too big for your thief, your thief
thinks it little enough: so every true man's apparel fits your thief.
 
Signet edition footnote says: "interpretation uncertain."

Subject:        Elizabethan Slang
 
In her article, "Representing Ophelia..." Elaine Showalter argues that in
Elizabethan slang, "nothing" was a term for the female gentitalia, but gives no
Elizabethan source for this, or indeed any specific reference. I can find
nothing in the OED or in Partridge.  Does anyone have a reference that can
establish the validity of this claim?
 
Thanks
