Early Modern Culture: First-Generation Shakespeare

Founded in 2000 by David Siar and Crystal Bartolovich, Early Modern Culture strives to create something like the active and on-going inquiry of a good seminar. Hence, the journal publishes works-in-progress by major scholars in early modern studies, along with a set of responses from readers. The collection of essays discuss the context for the editing assignment, its foundation in critical pedagogy, the assignment’s outcomes, and how it might offer some insights into teaching first-generation students more generally.
