'Editing Pericles: What's Good About a Bad Text' A Shakespeare Unbound Workshop

Jane Degenhardt is a Professor of English at UMass Amherst. She is the author of Islamic Conversion and Christian Resistance on the Early Modern Stage (Edinburgh University Press, 2010), Globalizing Fortune on the Early Modern Stage (Oxford University Press, 2022). Her work focuses on early modern drama with particular interests in the effects of globalizing processes, historical and speculative understandings of “worlding,” and social justice and race.

Cyrus Mulready is an Associate Professor of English at SUNY New Paltz. His research and teaching focus on Shakespeare and the literature and culture of early modern England. He has published essays on dramatic romance, book history and Philip Sidney’s Defense of Poesy; these materials form the basis of his book, Romance on the Early Modern Stage: English Expansion Before and After Shakespeare (Palgrave, 2013), which identifies a tradition of romance on the early modern stage that was shaped by England’s overseas ambitions. His new project is Object Studies: Introductions to Material Culture (Palgrave, 2023)
