You could try the third group down at extra.shu.ac.uk/emls/iemls/r..., 'Edited modern spelling e-texts of Renaissance plays'. Most of these were MA work but one or two were third year dissertations. They're complete plays but you could use the same approach for smaller chunks.

If they just want a list of index terms in Word I wouldn't worry about supplying that pre-production.

In my experience it depends which press and whether they're going to populate the index from your text (in which case it's not much trouble).

Fascinating and eye-opening article on Anne Hathaway Shakespeare with as an added bonus a bit about the provenance of the book, which was in a school library created by the will of Lady Margaret Hawkins #EarlyModern #SortofHerBook

_Shakespeare_ doesn't yet have a reviewer for this summer's _Hail to the Thief_ www.rsc.org.uk/hamlet-hail-.... If you sit in the Hamlet/Radiohead Venn diagram overlap, do by all means drop me a line at my institutional address (see sheffield.ac.uk/english/peop...).
About the play | Hamlet Hail to the Thief | Royal Shakespeare Company
Shakespeare’s great tragedy and Radiohead’s seminal album collide for a feverish experience that fuses theatre, music, and movement.

So I've got this article which should be coming out in the journal _Shakespeare_ any moment now, but in the meantime - Briefly, it's about a C17 letter preserved in the binding waste of a book now in Hereford Cathedral.

I'm pleased to announce that I've been invited to guest edit a special issue of "Shakespeare" to mark the 400th anniversary of Thomas Middleton's death! Please check out my call for papers, and do get in touch if you have any questions 🙂
This image shows Page 1 of a Call for Papers for a special issue of the journal "Shakespeare" on the theme "Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton". The text exceeds the character limit for Alt Text, but I will be adding a link to the online Call for Papers which will work for those using screen readers.
