BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?
A new open access model for books
BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. By prioritising authors that are often underrepresented in scholarly publishing, including early-career and unaffiliated researchers and those based in/writing about low- and lower-middle- income countries, we hope to engage a more diverse author base, bringing their work to a wider global audience.
THE BOOKS
Following our 2023 pilot we have expanded our 2024-25 offering to three collections of 20 titles each in:
• African Studies & International Development
• Environment & Climate Change
• Gender & Sexuality
BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES
• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 60 research titles available open access immediately on publication at no cost to the authors
• Receive guaranteed perpetual access to the 20 titles in each Open Collection you participate in
• Receive 1 year’s access to ~150 backlist titles in related areas for each Open Collection you participate in

Shakespeare’s House A Window onto his Life and Legacy
Richard Schoch, Queen’s University Belfast, UK
'A terrific addition to the Shakespeare library ... eye-opening.' - Michael Billington, Country Life
Richard Schoch explores the appeal of Shakespeare's 'Birthplace' to visitors by examining the history of the house through time and how its changing fortunes reflect the changing attitudes toward Shakespeare himself
Based on original research, this book traces the history of Shakespeare’s birthplace, beginning in the 1560s, when Shakespeare was born there, and ending in the 1890s, when the house was rescued from private purchase and turned into the Shakespeare monument that it remains today

The Arden Shakespeare
Shakespeare’s Compassion Emotion
and the Classics on the Early Modern Stage
Anne Sophie Refskou, Aarhus University, Denmark
Through close readings of key plays – Titus Andronicus, Richard III, Hamlet and King Lear –the main classical sources and the drama of his contemporaries , this book argues that Shakespeare’s dramatization of compassion, far from expressing a sense of universal empathy, reveals a complex early modern emotion available to be solicited and manipulated as a discursive vehicle for the exclusion of others It demonstrates how Shakespeare’s engagement with the classical literature enables his dramatization of key questions of race, gender, sexuality and the relationship between human beings and nonhuman animals that are central to the current critical field.

Dostoevsky's Hamlet in Nineteenth-Century Russia
The Paradox of Subjectivity
Petra Bjelica, University of Verona, Italy
Dostoevsky uses Hamlet to address some of the most important problems in Russian culture in the second half of the 19th century Approaching Dostoevsky’s engagement with Shakespeare through a focus on his novel, Demons, Petra Bjelica considers the figure of Hamlet as it connects to Russian national identity, spirituality and cultural migration Bjelica argues that Russian Hamletism is a perfect example of how a literary phenomenon forms through a specific culture. Rather than just referencing the play, Dostoevsky’s engagement with opposing and contradictory elements of Russian Hamletism dramatize the Hamletian dilemma anew

Shakespeare in Ireland
Adaptations and Appropriations
Edited by Andrew Murphy
Considering the ways in which such Irish writers as Samuel Beckett and W B Yeats drew on Shakespearean material in producing their own work, whilst analysing Shakespearean influence in both Irish society and its theatrical landscape, essays in this collection explore the history of Irish Shakespeare through the numerous ways in which Shakespeare and his work were reconfigured and recycled into various Irish contexts. Shakespeare in Ireland shows how Shakespeare has been rendered Irish in a variety of complex ways, and is an exercise in tracking how Shakespeare becomes a fully hibernicised figure.

Early Modern English Poetry Beyond Shakespeare
Edited by Fabio Ciambella, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, Cristiano Ragni & Camilla Caporicci, University of Perugia, Italy
