Does Shakespeare matter at the frontline of war? My new - and, sadly, still timely - article on Shakespeare’s use in Ukraine during Russia’s ongoing invasion has just been published open access in Humanities. www.mdpi.com/3454068

My (long!) article on ‘Shakespeare and War’ for Oxford Bibliographies has just been published! It covers Shakespeare’s time through centuries of reception history & I hope is useful for research on this multifaceted, diverse & (alas) timely topic www.oxfordbibliographies.com/display/docu...

Some great titles on here from writers I know and/or admire. Link to full mailout here: view.updates.cambridge.org?qs=17a78157d... @jltaylor.bsky.social @amylidster.bsky.social @bachrach.bsky.social @cambridgeup.bsky.social #Shakespeare

Always exciting to find your books in the wild at the CUP bookshop! With MLA 2024 underway, you can get 30% off both with discount code 101930, which certainly makes one of them a bargain! 😉

A stormy end to 2023, but hopefully the beginning of something new here...
