I am very pleased to announce the publication of my essay, “Feminist Shakespeare Studies,” in *The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare & Early Modern Authorship Studies*, edited by Rory Loughnane and Will Sharpe. Please ask your libraries to order it! global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Picture of the book, on a desk. The cover shows a candle in the right hand foreground on a raised desk and an author in the background, out of focus. The title of the book reads, *The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare & Early Modern Authorship Studies." The editors' names are in the upper right corner, Rory Loughnane and Will Sharpe.
