Keynote: ‘The Dutch Courtesan and the Oxford Marston (2:00-3:30PM, 22 March 2019)
Abstract:
This paper situates the play in the context of the ongoing collected works of John Marston, under preparation for Oxford University Press, the first such collected critical edition ever to have been created. It will discuss the edition's aims and working practices, and the new picture of Marston which we expect to emerge from it. The Dutch Courtesan is often encountered in isolation, as Marston's single best-known and most-read play. This paper approaches the play in the context of Marston's career and publication history as a whole, and the textual and theatrical relationships which work on the edition is gradually coming to disclose.
Speaker — Martin Butler (University of Leeds)
Martin Butler is an internationally respected speaker, author, and editor whose work covers the whole period of 1560-1642. His first book Theatre and Crisis 1632-1642 (1984) explores the politics of the English stage in the pre-Civil War years. In subsequent essays he has written about Chapman, Webster, Middleton, Massinger, Brome, Shirley, Ford and others, and his 2008 monograph The Stuart Court Masque and Political Culture gives an overview of drama and political festivals at Whitehall under James I and Charles I. As general editor, he produced the Cambridge Ben Jonson (2012), and is now preparing the Oxford Complete Works of John Marston. He is currently editing Massinger's A New Way to Pay Old Debts for Revels Plays; and The Cardinal for the Oxford Complete Works of James Shirley. He's a member of the editorial board for The Oxford Works of
Thomas Nashe. Recently, he has spoken in China (2016), California (2016), and Germany (2017).
Respondent: Jeremy Lopez (University of Toronto)
Jeremy Lopez teaches and writes about the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. His most recent book is Constructing the Canon of Early Modern Drama (Cambridge 2014), a history of the early modern dramatic canon from the eighteenth century to the present. He is the general editor of the Routledge Anthology of Early Modern Drama (forthcoming 2019), which will be the first entirely revisionary anthology of its kind in over a century. Other current work in progress includes a
monograph on the life and work of John Fletcher. In January 2018 he succeeded Gail Kern Paster as the editor of Shakespeare Quarterly. He is an innovative editor and a theatre scholar with a
particular interest in finding new ways to read the lesser-known plays of Shakespeare’s contemporaries.
