Mississippi and the General Editor of the Garland Shakespeare Criticism
Series, is soliciting one-page proposals for 25 page essays on Othello
for a future collection on the play. He wants proposals on papers that

The editors of Renaissance Studies invite articles on aspects of
Renaissance culture which cross several disciplines: the visual arts,
religion, literature, and languages of Europe during the period.

They are particularly keen to receive articles which deal with work from
regions which are less frequently commented on, including Spain, Portugal,
the Low Countries, Russia, and the Americas.
