 "Multi pertransibunt et augebitur scientia."
I moved back to Japan in 1999 and am currently working as a freelance English teacher and language consultant. The work is neither taxing nor arduous so I have been able to continue to develop my interest in the English Renaissance. My particular focus has been on the interaction between character and political strategy, or virtue and power, and the influence of Machiavellian thought on that interface. So far I have written three papers which discuss that theme in relation to certain aspects of Romeo and Juliet, King Lear and The Taming of the Shrew. Prior to their publication on this site, the Shakespeare papers were published in consecutive editions of Studies in English Language and Literature, published by Hiroshima Jogakuin University, Japan. Currently, I am preparing a paper on A Midsummer Night's Dream. I aim to produce one major paper per year, as well as some book reviews and shorter commentary for the weblog attached to this site. So far there are six fully annotated papers with bibliographies and translations of Latin and Italian quotations available for purchase as a single package. For a one-time token payment of just $5 you will get life-time access to the complete database. Every time I produce a new paper I will add it to the database. David Hurley October 2007 |
