Shakespeare Association of America

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 from one of our editors:

Editor Profile

Name: Emily Hockley

Message from the editor

Despite a turbulent year, we’ve enjoyed some wonderful publishing. Highlights include the fantastic Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and Race, and A User’s Guide to Melancholy, of which Philip Pullman is a fan! If you have yet to enjoy All the Sonnets of Shakespeare (identified by the Guardian as a tried-and-tested lockdown-cheer-bringer), now’s your chance. And do check out Lois Potter’s helpful new Introduction to King Lear. Finally, don’t forget to sign up to our events – David McInnis’ Shakespeare and Lost Plays is hot off the press, and we are delighted to announce our new Shakespeare Survey board members.
