Description: Shakespeare Quarterly (SQ) is a leading journal in Shakespeare studies, publishing highly original, rigorously researched essays, notes, and book reviews. Published for the Folger Shakespeare Library by Oxford University Press (OUP), SQ is peer-reviewed and extremely selective. The essays in our published pages span the field, including scholarship about new media and early modern race, textual and theater history, ecocritical and posthuman approaches, psychoanalytic and other theories, and archival and historicist work. Our mission, simply put, is to present the best scholarship on Shakespeare from his own period to the present moment.The published journal is available in print and online through OUP. Our archive is also available through JSTOR. Our website (sq.folger.edu) highlights and showcases the content of current and upcoming published issues of the journal. It hosts supplemental materials that will give you a more robust engagement with the essays in our issues. Additionally, it features lively web-exclusive content—short, informal essays from eminent Shakespeareans; discussions about essays and book reviews published in our pages; interviews with authors and performers; performance reviews; and Letters to the Editor. Other than Letters to the Editor, sq.folger.edu does not feature unsolicited material, and—as with newspapers or magazines—we do not promise to publish each letter that we receive (though we do hope to receive many). Web-exclusive content, including Letters to the Editor, will be archived so that you can come back to it again and again.

Description: As one of the exhibition destinations for the Folger Shakespeare Library’s First Folio Tour in 2016, UW-Madison is also helping to coordinate opportunities to experience the influence of Shakespeare across Wisconsin. Shakespeare in Wisconsin 2016 will include state-wide performance experiences, K-12 educational opportunities, among other events, to showcase the ways in which Shakespeare still influences the world, including the lives of those right here in Wisconsin. The Shakespeare in Wisconsin 2016 will kick off on April 20 as we welcome actress Anna Deavere Smith to campus, thanks to collaboration between the Distinguished Lecture Series, the Libraries, and the Friends of the UW-Madison Libraries. Other key events include a special lecture in October, when luminaries from Wisconsin will present an original performance on Shakespeare’s endearing legacy. Finally, the First Folio exhibition will open in November at the Chazen Museum of Art. Additional events and exhibits showcasing other works by Shakespeare can be expected throughout the year as well, including exhibits in the Department of Special Collections and the Kohler Art Library.

Description: Folger Digital Texts are free, high-quality digital texts of Shakespeare's plays start with the basics: superb source texts, meticulously edited on the basis of current scholarship. The plays in Folger Digital Texts are taken from the Folger Shakespeare Library editions, completed in 2010 by editors Barbara Mowat and Paul Werstine and published by Simon & Schuster. To these texts, we've added sophisticated coding that works behind the scenes to make the plays easy to read, search, and index—and lays the groundwork for new features in the future. We've also used the same page numbers and layouts as in the Folger print editions, so it's simple to use the two together. Our digital texts are also powerful scholarly tools in the fast-growing field of digital Shakespeare research. We encourage researchers and developers to download the coded texts at no cost for noncommercial purposes, including specialized studies and mobile apps.

Description: Part of an international initiative marking the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, the exhibition will feature a First Folio open to the famous “To be or not to be” soliloquy in Hamlet. Unique to Tulane’s presentation will be a rare quarto of Hamlet on loan from Tulane parent and exhibition supporter Stuart Rose. In addition to the Newcomb Art Museum exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to trace across campus an “archival circuit” of rare materials informing an array of special topics: the history of book publication in Shakespeare’s age at Howard-Tilton Library Special Collections; Shakespeare and race at the Amistad Research Center; and Shakespeare and gender at the Newcomb Archives and Vorhoff Library Special Collections. A distinctive New Orleans’ jazz funeral will kick off the campus-wide initiative. Complete with music provided by Dr. Michael White and the Liberty Brass Band, this special parade will honor and remember the greatest playwright the world has known.

Uniquely, ambitiously, fittingly, this quatercentenary World Congress will be based in not just one but two locations: in Shakespeare’s birthplace, and final resting-place, Stratford-upon-Avon; and in the city where he made his name and where his genius flourished—London. The 2016 hosts – in Stratford, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and the University of Birmingham’s Shakespeare Institute; in London, Shakespeare’s Globe and the London Shakespeare Centre, King’s College London – look forward to welcoming delegates from around the world to share in a range of cultural and intellectual opportunities in the places where Shakespeare was born, acted, wrote and died.
