About meI teach 16th and 17th British literature, particularly drama. I read a lot of fiction--historical novels set in many places and time periods, contemporary British fiction, classics, and more. Fiction keeps me sane in the midst of reading stacks of freshman essays!

I'm stopping by to say that I finished reading When the Emperor was Divine and want to thank you and Akeela for pointing me in the direction of this book. It was wonderful.

Speaking of Gaskell, I need to go finish Wives and Daughters.

Apologies for not responding to your message (regarding our common guardianship of Ben Jonson's London), but I haven't been on this site for quite some time. I just happened to open it up this morning after mentioning it to a colleague. We do indeed share a similar period-interest professionally, but I can't claim to be much of an adept when it comes to contemporary fiction -- I simply don't have the time for it. My fiction time is pretty much limited to a couple of weeks at my cottage in the summer (coming soon!). Have you got to Ben Jonson and the Politics of Genre (Cambridge 2009) yet? Give it a look. I'm currently into some work on the playing companies c. 1590-1625 and have added to the clutter (both spatially and mentally).
One of these days I'll get to the remainder of my library -- which, due to an unfortunate circumstance, more than doubled a couple of months ago -- but for now, I'll just be nosy and peek at the collections of others and read the wonderful commentary.
Cheers

Have you looked into Phillip Burton's: YOU,MY BROTHER? A novel based on the lives of Edmund & William Shakespeare. P.B. was an early mentor to Richard Jenkins who went on to have a pretty fair career as an actor, etc.
