Overview
Dr Peter Orford and his editing team have collected articles from the next generation of Shakespeare scholars to offer a glimpse into the future of Renaissance Studies.

Author Information
Peter Orford completed his PhD at the Shakespeare Institute in 2006, having researched the critical and theatrical background of Shakespeare's history plays in order to explore their potential as individual works of drama, rather than chapters in a cycle. He was a contributing editor to Shakespeare I-learner, an interactive web-based product for school children in Hong Kong, and his article 'The Significance of Venice in Little Dorrit' was published in the Dickensian in Summer 2007.
