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.

Thank you, @folgerlibrary.bsky.social Folger Institute for hosting us for the "Marlowe, Shakespeare, and Editorial Futures" event! It was there that @earlymodernconv.bsky.social and I got to dive in with this fascinating copy of the Works of Marlowe--annotated by Anthony Trollope!

Kristen A Bennett @earlymodconv.bsky.social · Dec 13

✨ It was such a delight to stumble upon Anthony Trollope's notes on Christopher Marlowe's plays last October at the Folger! Even better was collaborating with the brilliant @lauraestill.bsky.social on our Collation post, "Anthony Trollope Reads Christopher Marlowe"!
