Just clicked ‘send’ on an article entitled “Title Page Engravings and Re-Ordering the Quartos of A Game at Chess“. It is scheduled to be published in the XLX 2011 issue of Research on Medieval and Renaissance Drama.

Now on to the Henry VIII edition proposal, and the essay for Envisioning REED.
But first a bit of dinner, then back to reading Knight of the Burning Pestle for tomorrow’s class.

Very exciting. [Read more…] about Tarlton touring post
