Abstract
I am requesting one full semester ( either Fall 2004 or Spring 2005). I propose to write at ~ least eight (ideally, twelve) essays on Shakespeare plays that are currently popular for teaching, as well as writing a draft of a synthesizing commentary that explains the overall I approach around which my essays cohere.
This process of pulling together the essays would include drawing from the copious notes I have amassed during my sixteen semesters of teaching and passionately studying Shakespeare; reviewing a wide range of resources that I already have at my disposal; spending time at the University of Illinois library (including the Rare Books Room) reading, as needed, its comprehensive collection of works that served as Shakespeare's primary sources; visiting the Chicago Shakespeare Theater (with which I am familiar, as I have brought over two hundred Parkland students there); attending other Shakespeare performances; and seeking feedback on my emerging essays from professors with whom I have studied.
