International Shakespeare Conference 2020

Welcome

Hello and welcome! We hope that you and families are keeping well in the era of social distancing. In light of COVID-19 we've decided to take our exhibit stands online. It’s not like being at the event in person, but we hope it offers at least some semblance of normality during this challenging time. Below you will find a list of the books we would have had on display, as well as information on who to contact if you are interested in publishing with us. We've also increased our online discount so that being at home doesn't mean you have to miss out on conference prices, if you're in the market for a good book that is. If not, then perhaps just close your eyes for a moment and pretend you’re in the exhibit hall, about to head off to the wine reception or grab a coffee…

And now that you've got yourself that all important drink, how about a quick word with one of our editors:

A Message from Our Editor

I’m sorry not to have a chance to meet with many of you in Stratford-upon-Avon this year. In the absence of an in-person conference, please do email me your proposals and browse our wares virtually. I’m delighted to announce that three of our wonderful authors have been nominated for the Shakespeare’s Globe Book Award 2020: Harriet Philips for Nostalgia in Print and Performance, 1510-1613, Lieke Stelling for Religious Conversion in Early Modern Drama and Emma Whipday for Shakespeare’s Domestic Tragedies. The year has also seen the launch of the Cambridge Shakespeare online platform – if you’d like to arrange a free trial for your university, get in touch. And don’t forget to use your conference discount on Lois Potter’s fresh introduction to the New Cambridge Shakespeare King Lear, as well as to pre-order the sumptuous All the Sonnets of Shakespeare, edited by Paul Edmondson and Stanley Wells.

Journals
