More About the Author

The new edition from the Parlor Press of Boiardo's Orlando in Love includes all the editorial content from the Oxford World's Classics edition, small case letters at the beginnings of lines, and a little more rhyme.

The Custom of the Castle has a good essays on Malory, Boiardo, Ariosto, Spenser, Hamlet (which argues for indeterminacy of knowledge in the play), and Macbeth.

Elizabethan Literature and the Law of Fraudulent Conveyance: Sidney, Spenser, Shakespeare, is cited in Richard Posner's revised edition of Law and Literature. Deborah Shugar assigned the chapter on Coke's reading of Twyne's Case to her class. Is there a better endorsement?

Shakespeare in Hollywood, Asia, and Cyberspace has essays on the history of Shakespeare productions in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaya, Okinawa, Korea, and China, as well as my contribution of Hollywood's semiotics of underwater women as a sign of social oppression.

Statius's Thebaid is a great read, full of hidden gems, like the heavy-shoulder Adrastus, aging king of Argos, who reminds me of Baci (see photo).
