...that enact a ritual performance of the cult of the author. 30 David Davídházi cites, for example, the ceremony that took place in 1936 when a replica of the Globe theatre was opened in Dallas: lumps of earth taken from Shakespeare’s garden and water from the Avon were sprinkled over the new stage. The earth was sent to America in a box made of the wood of the Stratford Memorial Theatre that was burned down in 1926 , so even the box symbolized an authenticating continuity, the miraculous survival of things Shakespearean. 31 And in Victorian England, when...

...but the ensemble of mixed motives and multiple literacy styles that the 19th century bequeathed to the 21st means this sort of compartmentalization is ultimately unhelpful. One produces a flawed and partial picture of literary studies when one puts in one quarter a specialized guild of interpreters who are concerned with knowledge and meaning and puts in another an amateur audience who seek out feeling and pleasure. The performance of theoretical rigor was never that thoroughly entrenched as the sine qua non of the literature professor’s success in her...

...in which literary production is shown to be deeply entrenched in prevailing social and economic conditions. Orgel places Shakespeare’s dramatic works in the historical context of a deeply collaborative theater in the Elizabethan and Jacobean Ages, replacing the image of the writer of genius with that of a well-trained and highly competent guild craftsman. 50 New Historicism represents a different kind of close reading in its focus on the constitutive elements of a written text within the wider contexts in which is it produced, thus “reading” social...

Velina Hasu Houston states that “the literary expression of Asian American theatre began with women.” 9 Similarly, Roberta Uno’s research shows Asian women writers in the United States to be foundational to Asian American theater. A number of literary and play anthologies have contributed to making visible the dramatic production of Asian American women, such as The Big Aiiieeeee! , which includes Wakako Yamauchi’s 1977 play And...

Leather remained at the heart of Hornchurch's commercial life until the 19th century, with shoemakers, tanners and dealers in animal skins. During the 1920s and 1930s the whole of Hornchurch became a dormitory suburb; its population increasing threefold during this period. The Queen's Theatre moved from a converted cinema to purpose-built premises on Billet Lane in 1975 , and has become one of outer London's most...
