Dear SHAKSPEReans,

I am delighted to announce that Hugh Grady Professor of English at 
Arcadia University in Pennsylvania has volunteered to be Guest Moderator 
for the first SHAKSPER Seminar/Forum/Roundtable (official designation to 
follow).

Professor Grady will conduct a session on Historicism and Presentism 
(official title to follow), a subject for which he is imminently 
qualified. His publications in this area include the following:

World. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1991.

---. Shakespeare's Universal Wolf: Postmodernist Studies in Early Modern 
Reification. New York: Clarendon Press, 1996.

Shakespeare. London: Routledge, 2000.

from Richard II to Hamlet. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002.

Journal. 1.1-2 (June and December 2005): 102-20.

Shakespeare. London: Routledge, 2007.


Professor Grady recommends the following READING LIST for those wishing 
to participate in the discussion on Historicism and Presentism:
