Briefly, on Shakespeare.

Things that could ACTUALLY interest me about Shakespeare studies, unlike bibliographic inquiries:


Paul Yachnin's scholarship on Shakespearean publics:

• http://www.makingpublics.org/research/commonarchive/things/thing.php?id=1331
• http://www.amazon.com/Making-Publics-Early-Modern-Europe/dp/0415805899

Shakespeare and rhetoric (thank you to Silva Rhetoricae for the suggestions):

• Sister Miriam Joseph's book, which "present[s] to the modern reader the general theory of composition current in Shakespeare’s England": http://www.amazon.com/Shakespeares-Language-Sister-Miriam-Joseph/dp/1589880250
• Bibliography of sources: Heinrich Plett, English Renaissance Rhetoric and Poetics: A Systematic Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Sources
• Toby Widdicombe, Simply Shakespeare (Longman, 2002).
  "See chapter three for a good rhetorical introduction to Shakespeare. Excellent for bringing rhetoric into the Shakespeare classroom at secondary or college levels."
