Subject:        Latest Issue of Early Modern Literary Studies

To whom it may concern:

We feel that the following may be of interest to your readership.

Yours sincerely,
Sean Lawrence,
Associate Editor,
Early Modern Literary Studies.

Early Modern Literary Studies is delighted to announce its September
issue, a special issue on the theme of Gold containing a number of
papers from the Northern Renaissance Seminar conference on Gold held at
Sheffield Hallam University in November 2001, and a special contribution
from Richard Abrams on the highly topical question of the ‘Elegy for
William Peter’.  The full list of articles appears below, and the issue
also contains the usual complement of reviews and theatre reviews.  As
usual, the journal can be accessed free online at

Articles on Gold:

"Powdered with Golden Rain": The Myth of Danae in Early Modern Drama.
[1]Julie Sanders, Keele University.

Orlando and the Golden World: The Old World and the New in As You Like
It.
[2] Lisa Hopkins, Sheffield Hallam University.

"In his gold I shine": Jacobean Comedy and the art of the mediating
trickster.
[3] Alizon Brunning, University of Central Lancashire.

"O unquenchable thirst of gold": Lyly's Midas and the English quest for
Empire.
[4] Annaliese Connolly, Sheffield Hallam University.

"The City Cannot Hold You": Social Conversion in the Goldsmith's Shop.
[5] Janelle Day Jenstad, University of Windsor.

"W. S.'s Elegy for William Peter": A Special Contribution: Meet the
Peters.
[6] Richard Abrams, University of Southern Maine.

Sheffield Hallam University English department is also pleased to
announce the launch of Volume 4 of its in-house journal Working Papers
on the Web.  The theme of this issue is teaching Renaissance texts, both
the centrally canonical and the lesser-known.  Three of the essays, by
Michael Best, Scott Howard, and Matt Hansen, focus on the period’s most
famous author, Shakespeare, but all describe unusual methods of
encouraging students to engage with him.  Carrie Hintz looks at an
equally major figure, Milton, and discusses strategies for teaching
Paradise Lost to religiously committed students.  Other essays stray
further from the beaten track: Ty Buckman focuses on the literary
culture of 1590s London; Roze Hentschell considers ways of introducing
non-canonical literature into undergraduate teaching; and Rowland Wymer
describes how a course centred on the use of films such as La Reine
Margot can be used to introduce students to the study of the
Renaissance.  The journal can be accessed free online at
