Shakespeare Studies is an international volume published every year in hard cover featuring essays and studies by critics and cultural historians from both hemispheres. The journal also contains substantial reviews of important books and essays dealing with the cultural history of early modern England and the place of Shakespeare's productions (together with those of his contemporaries) within it. In recent years, Shakespeare Studies has expanded to include articles and reviews on significant intellectual and historical events on the continent; on global issues pertaining to England, in particular its relationship to the Near and the Far East;and on theoretical works relevant to the critical analysis of Shakespeare and his time.
An Editorial Board of cultural historians and scholars maintains the quality of each annual volume so that Shakespeare Studies may serve as a useful guide for all students of Shakespeare and the early modern period - for teachers, actors, and directors, as well as for research scholars.
Volume XXXIII features the third in its series of essays on "Early Modern Drama around the World" in which specialists in theatrical traditions from around the globe during the time of Shakespeare discuss the state of scholarly study in their respective areas. Initiated in Volume XXXI with essays on China and Golden-Age Spain, and continued in Volume XXXII with essays on Japan and France, this volume presents a single study of "The Architecture of Italian Theaters Arond the Time of Shakespeare" by Eugene J. Johnson. Volume XXXIII also includes another in the journal's series of Forums, organized and edited by Cynthia Marshall and entitled "Extra-mural Psychoanalysis." Marshall's Forum features contributions by Lynn Enterline and David Hillman (in tandem), Lisa Freinkel, Graham Hammill, Elizabeth D. Harvey, Heather Hirschfeld, Kristen Poole, Douglas Trevor, and Susan Zimmerman. Additionally, this volume contains two full-length articles: Gina Bloom focuses on :Words Made of Breath: Gender and Vocal Agency in King John," while Leeds Barroll invites a reassessment of "The Second Blackfriars Theater." In a review article, Paul Cohen assesses the work of Timothy Hampton on the cultural and political history of Renaissance France, particularly the role of nationalism in the development of the nation-state.
The book review section of Volume XXXIII critiques twenty-two books written by distinguished scholars on a wide variety of topics, including London civic theater; the uses of script and print; and ethnicity and race.
