What is Collaboration? Tickets and Dates

Taking place on Zoom on the second Wednesday of every month, our online Research Conversations provide you with the opportunity to listen to people who are engaged in Shakespeare-related research.

On 12 October we'll be joined by Professor Laurie Maguire and Professor Emma Smith of Oxford University to talk about 'collaboration'.

The word 'collaboration' covers a range of practices in Elizabethan plays, from composition by specific act, speech or plot to composition by speciality (crowd scenes, clown roles). This conversation approaches the topic from both early modern and contemporary perspectives, posing a series of questions.

What does collaboration mean in the early modern period? Who gets named on title pages and why? How far do our own attitudes towards academic collaboration inform and limit our understanding of how joint authorship might have worked in the early modern period?

Led by Professor Laurie Maguire and Professor Emma Smith, University of Oxford.

The event begins with a thirty minute presentation and will be followed by an open discussion.

Please note this is an online event held on Zoom.
