The Shakespeare International Yearbook will publish a special issue on audio Shakespeare around the world: histories of recorded, radio, and streaming global Shakespeare productions from early phonographic recordings to the latest Internet audio productions. We are looking for international scholars with diverse backgrounds to research and document these performances. While audio works in the English-speaking countries of the northern hemisphere are well documented, those in the southern hemisphere are not, nor are performances in Arabic, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Russian, other Eastern European languages, Spanish, Japanese, various Chinese dialects, various Indian dialects, and any other languages not listed here. We hope you will contribute to this most understudied area of Shakespeare performance studies. Please contact special issue editor Mike Jensen at jensensh@hotmail.com

The Shakespeare International Yearbook surveys the present state of Shakespeare studies across the whole spectrum of his literary output and afterlife in world cultures. New trends are evaluated from the point of view of established scholarship, and emerging work in the field is encouraged, to present a view of what is happening all around the world. Each volume includes a special section under the guidance of a specialist Guest Editor. Alexa Alice Joubin is the general editor.
