What adaptations/appropriations of Midsummer have y’all had success teaching to undergrads (majors or non-majors)? I have at least two literary-cultural interventions for all other Shakespeare plays on my syllabus, but Midsummer has me stumped. What am I missing? (Lots, I’m sure…)

Last month, at the Michigan #EmoSex conference, I said a few words about the friction between gender and sexuality studies, and also my thoughts about a "trans method." Maybe you'd like to read them, too.

Think you might use our digital edition *at all*? Then now is your chance to make sure it works for you as well as possible. Have a play and then press the feedback icon and spend 30 seconds or so letting us know what wasn't so great so we can try and fix it! #EarlyModern #Yorkshire #FamilyHistory

Friends: I’m hoping to get my paws on an essay published in MILTON STUDIES, but my uni’s subscription is hard-copy only and I’m 100 miles away from campus at the moment. Does anyone have digital institutional access? 🥹🙏
