Shakespeare, the journal of the British Shakespeare Association, invites contributions to a special issue on ‘Unseen Shakespeares’, broadly conceived.  Topics covered might include (but are not limited to) bedtricks; things that happen off or under the stage; invisibility; ‘ghost’ characters; events which the audience is called upon to imagine; lines or scenes which are frequently cut in performance; and topics, issues or characters which have historically been marginalised or have failed to attract critical attention.  Please send abstracts of c. 200 words to L.M.Hopkins@shu.ac.uk by Monday 2 December 2024.  Complete essays (approximately 7000 words) will be due by Friday 2 May 2025, will need to be submitted via the journal’s online portal (accessible from https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/rshk20 ), and will be subject to double-blind peer review.
