NEW ISSUE KLAXON! SB 42.2, a special issue on "Archives and Performing Memory" edited by Sally Barnden is out now on Project MUSE! Feat essays by Erin J Anouska Lester Abbie Weinberg Molly S Dr. Janelle Jenstad Stephanie Shirilan and a wide range of reviews. muse.jhu.edu/issue/53122

Going to do my best Dr. Peter Kirwan impression and introduce the articles briefly - but stay tuned for more detail in #ExtraCredit from Shakespeare Bulletin curated by the authors muse.jhu.edu/issue/53122

Next is Anouska Lester on magic mirrors in the early modern performance archive, demonstrating the significance of mirror props in three early modern plays and flipping the 'performance as mirror' metaphor on its head

Next, Abbie W. takes us backstage at the Folger Shakespeare Library to show how a set of eighteenth-century theatrical receipts survived and what they can tell us about the role of Shakespeare in archival practices

next, Molly S recovers Langston Hughes and Dorothy Peterson's never-performed translation of Lope de Vega's 'Fuenteovejuna', mourning its unrealised potential and exploring how a 1920s adaptation could speak to our present

in her chapter, Dr. Janelle Jenstad revisits Jeanette Lambermont's 2001 production of 'Henry V' - a production that both queried the bias of wartime archives and became, by an accident of timing, a conductor for anxieties about contemporary warfare

And finally, Stephanie Shirilan explores the archival potential of air, finding that both matter and emotion linger and get 'stuck' in the atmosphere in Shakespeare's plays and asking how scholarship about performance archiving can take air into account

It’s the last two days of our exhibition - Shakespeare and War - at the National Army Museum. Entry is free and no booking needed, so you can stop by if you’re in the area! nam.ac.uk/whats-on/shake…
