Shakespeare’s House
A Window onto his Life and Legacy
Richard Schoch, Queen’s University Belfast, UK 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 on Prejudice 'Scorns and Mislike' in Shakespeare's Plays
B. J. Sokol, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
How are various forms of prejudice portrayed in the works of Shakespeare and to what extent does Shakespeare differ from his contemporaries in their portrayal? What can we learn about Shakespeare's times and our own through a close reading of prejudice depicted in his plays? Through detailed analysis of his plays, comparison with the works of other Elizabethan writers and a consideration of Shakespeare's social environment, the study provides an appreciation of how Shakespeare represents prejudice against education, the arts, peace, ‘strangers’ or outsiders, and sexual love

Through a selection of essays, this book conceptualizes the function of dance in musical theatre in multiple ways: how it functions diegetically as a part of the story or non-diegetically as an amplification of emotion, as well as how the dancing body works to reveal character psychology by expressing an unspoken aspect of the libretto, embodying emotions or ideas through metaphor or abstraction

Stage Management
Communication Design as Scenography
Michael Smalley
Drawing on interview material from more than 20 leading stage managers from the UK, USA and Australia this book situates the contemporary practice of stage management within its historical and social contexts Questioning the notions of the invisible stage manager and a linear production process, it argues for a broader conception of stage management lying at the intersections of administration, management and artistry
It places stage management practice within, and introduces its practitioners to, key theories of fields as diverse as performance studies, semiotics, phenomenology, distributed cognition, management and scenography, and demonstrates how stage managers embed these in their practice

Series: Readings in Theatre Practice Methuen Drama
Staging Ancient Greek Plays A Practical Guide
Michael Ewans, University of Newcastle, Australia
This indispensable guide offers directors and actors an excellent starting point for mounting their production. Looking briefly first at the conditions of ancient Greek performance and the conventions of the Greek theatre, this practical guide goes on to explore, with analysed examples, the issues that today's theatre-makers need to consider in order to successfully stage ancient Greek drama. The final part of the book examines larger questions, around values, myth, the individual, the gods and fate – all of which need to be taken into consideration when approaching a contemporary production

Have you heard about BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?
A pilot 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. We are the first commercial publisher to pilot such a model. Our hope is to engage a more diverse set of authors, bringing their work to a wider global audience.
THE BOOKS
In this pilot phase we aim to make 20 frontlist titles in African Studies and International Development OA immediately upon publication. The titles, including some from Bloomsbury’s renowned Zed Books imprint, are due to publish between March 2024 and February 2025.
BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES
• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 20 research titles available OA
• Receive 1 year’s access to 194 backlist titles in African Studies and International Development
• Be publicly acknowledged on our website
• If we do not raise enough funds to publish the titles OA, receive permanent access to all 20 frontlist titles
• If we raise 50% of our target funding and can only publish 10 titles OA, receive permanent access to the 10 titles that are not made OA
