Subject:      Announcement of REED WWW Page Update

Dear Colleagues,

I have just up-graded the REED Web page by

--up-dating our staff list and publication list (now includes ISBN
   and pricing for the newest volume, _Somerset_, whose publication
   date will be 18 October)

--expanding "All the World's a Stage", our list of links to other
   theatre and music sites; new are links to the York Doomsday site at
   Lancaster, several new Shakespearean sites, the Thesaurus Musicarum
   Italicarum, an on-line bibliography for Adam de la Halle, and the
   on-line subject index to _Cahiers Elisabethains_

--adding "Links to Sites for REED Records Research", a brand-new list
   of links to archival research sites such as the Public Record Office,
   the Institute for Historical Research, and the Historical Manuscripts
   Commission

The addresses are:

http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~reed/reed.html => REED's home page
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~reed/reed-l.html => REED-L's home page
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~reed/stage.html => our theatre resource page
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~reed/archive.html => our archival sites page

Please visit these sites and tell your students about them. This
announcement is going to REED-L, PERFORM, FICINO, and the Usenet
group humanities.lit.authors.shakespeare. Please cross-post to other
relevant lists: I'd be particularly grateful if someone could get it
out on HUMANIST and SHAKESPER lists, to which I don't subscribe, and
some of the early music and dance lists.

Title: Theorizing the Records: Methodological Approaches to the
Production and Use of Edited Dramatic Extracts
Organizer: James C. Cummings School of English,
           University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, England, U.K.
           engjcc@leeds.ac.uk

Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society.

This session has a two-fold aim.  First, it will examine the
methodological questions raised in the process of producing an edition
of dramatic records (such as those of the REED project and the Malone
Society).  Additionally, it will address the wider context of the ways
in which such an edition is used in research. This session is an
outgrowth of an online discussion which took place in the Spring of
1996 on the REED-L and PERFORM electronic mailing lists.
