For a future issue of the Shakespeare Yearbook, "Shakespeare and the
Lacanian Renaissance" -- to be co-edited by Douglas A. Brooks (Texas
A&M University) and Kristin Lacefield (University of North
Carolina-Chapel Hill) -- the journal seeks articles that examine the
intersections between Lacanian theory and the literary production of
Shakespeare and his Contemporaries.

Jacques Lacan often turned to literature written in the early modern
period to articulate his thoughts on a wide range of psychoanalytic
issues. During the roughly two decades of Post-structuralism's
prominence, a number of scholars of early modern literature turned to
Lacan to articulate a range of literary and cultural issues. Some
twenty years after Lacan's death it seems worth revisiting the
relevance of his work to the study and interpretation of early modern
literature.
