It's so good that I love you the way I do. Otherwise, I'd have to dip you in honey and feed you to bears.

I hope you'll listen to S3, subscribe, and leave a (nice) review, if you're so inclined. Season 4 is also launching this summer and we're excited to keep the dramaturgical fun going all summer!

Then, Jovita Roselene and John Williams envision Molière in his Taylor Swift era by thinking about the grey area between a writer's self-revision and adaptation theory and locate the playwright as a kind of "reverse Swiftie." open.acast.com/public/strea...

We're closing out S3 with Tartuffe! First up, Rose Herold, Ella Pellegrino, and Julia Sommer talk controversy and censorship in civic and ecclesiastic terms and engage with Molière's cycle of self-revision to get Tartuffe (back) onstage... and himself out of trouble! open.acast.com/public/strea...

As always, I appreciate your support of these excellent students. Eps available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify etc. & at www.writinthemargins.com. I hope you'll subscribe and leave us a (nice) review. All thanks to Mary Baldwin University Shakespeare & Performance for their support!

Then, Katie Mestres & Kyle Showalter get to the heart of anxieties surrounding widows in the Renaissance. They work through anti-woman sentiment and its resonance in the play using feminist theory and draw in added context re: the Pamphlet Wars. open.acast.com/public/strea...

We then turn to a Spanish Golden Age gem -- The Phantom Lady, or La dama duende, by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. In Ep 6, hosts Austen Bell & Cory Drozdowski dig into the "invisible mistress" trope & consider the impact of mythologizing women onstage (and off). open.acast.com/public/strea...

Then, Cece Richardson and Anna Bigham explore oceanic liminality, ecofeminism, and monstrous femininity in Pericles, with Marina at the (watery) heart of their investigation. open.acast.com/public/strea...

S3 of Writ in the Margins continues w/a terrific duo of eps focused on our first ever (!) Shax title, Pericles. First, Jim Drake and Godfred Ogoe break down the relationship between place and language in Pericles's misadventures at sea, through an ecocritical lens. open.acast.com/public/strea...

Unghhhh. *cries in elder millennial*
