CALL FOR PROPOSALS

DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS: 1 October 2022

After the New Oxford Shakespeare credited Christopher Marlowe as co-author of 1, 2, and 3 Henry VI in 2016, Shakespeare’s short-lived contemporary has drawn a wave of renewed interest. Since then, new editions of Doctor Faustus, The Massacre at Paris, and The Jew of Malta have appeared, three collections of essays have been published, and a well-attended international Marlowe conference was held in Wittenberg, Germany. Marlowe’s plays continue to be a staple of contemporary non-Shakespearean performance with recent celebrated productions at the RSC’s Swan Theatre and the National Theatre. The next two years will see major gatherings dedicated to Marlowe and his work held in Rheims, Paris, and London, and the second manifestation of the Oxford Marlowe: Collected Works will follow thereafter. The Oxford Handbook of Christopher Marlowe is intended to compliment this work. It will provide an authoritative volume of essays encompassing emergent and established approaches to Marlowe by a range of scholars and theatre practitioners.
