Om migI teach 16th and 17th British literature, particularly drama. I read a lot of fiction--historical novels set in many places and time periods, contemporary British fiction, classics, and more. Fiction keeps me sane in the midst of reading stacks of freshman essays!

Thanks Deborah - turns out that I had clicked ignore by accident so had missed it! Do hope that the weather is kind to you and that you get your submission in on time!

I'm always 'on the hunt' for something to read. Your library seems a great place to window shop.

Hi Cariola,

Apologies for not responding to your message (regarding our common guardianship of Ben Jonson's London), but I haven't been on this site for quite some time. I just happened to open it up this morning after mentioning it to a colleague. We do indeed share a similar period-interest professionally, but I can't claim to be much of an adept when it comes to contemporary fiction -- I simply don't have the time for it. My fiction time is pretty much limited to a couple of weeks at my cottage in the summer (coming soon!). Have you got to Ben Jonson and the Politics of Genre (Cambridge 2009) yet? Give it a look. I'm currently into some work on the playing companies c. 1590-1625 and have added to the clutter (both spatially and mentally).

One of these days I'll get to the remainder of my library -- which, due to an unfortunate circumstance, more than doubled a couple of months ago -- but for now, I'll just be nosy and peek at the collections of others and read the wonderful commentary.

Cheers

Hello Cariola
Have you looked into Phillip Burton's: YOU,MY BROTHER? A novel based on the lives of Edmund & William Shakespeare. P.B. was an early mentor to Richard Jenkins who went on to have a pretty fair career as an actor, etc.

Hallo, don't wish to impose, but I notice that you're currently reading North and South. This morning's Guardian has an article by Jenny Uglow that might interest you...
All the best, Carolyn
We have some wonderful historical novels in common, and I enjoy Jude Morgan's books as well. (He's written many other historicals as T.R. Wilson, if you're not familiar with his earlier work.)
If you decide to take a look at my historical fiction guide, I hope you enjoy it!
