ShaLT Project Lectures -- online!

Over the summer of 2013 a series of public talks

by leading theatre historians was given at the

Victoria & Albert Museum in London on various

topics around theatre in Shakespeare's time.

The talks were part of the 'Shakespearean

London Theatres (ShaLT)' project and were audio-

recorded for anyone to download from the ShaLT

website at http://shalt.org.uk/downloads.

The full list of talks you can download is:

* Prof Andrew Gurr 'Why was the Globe Round?'

* Prof Peter Womack 'The People's Tragic Hero'

* Prof Julie Sanders 'Ben Jonson, Bankside and

the Blackfriars'

* Prof Tiffany Stern 'Stuck Up and Down About

the City'

* Prof Joanne Tompkins 'Virtual Reality and London's

Early Stages'

* Prof Jean E. Howard 'Rich City, Poor City'

* Dr Farah Karim-Cooper 'Fashioning the Female Face'

* Prof Martin White 'When Torchlight Made an

Artificial Noon'

* Prof Ralph A. Cohen 'The New Blackfriars'

* Prof Gary Taylor '1+1=3'

* Prof Martin Butler 'Exeunt Players'

The audio files are all offered under a Creative Commons

Attribution ShareAlike licence (CC-BY-SA) that allows

you to do anything with them--including putting them into

your teaching materials, burning them onto a disk and

selling it, adapting them as tap-dances for Broadway--

so long as you acknowledge the speaker and don't attach

a licence more restrictive than this one.

The ShaLT investigators, myself and Andrew Gurr, are

grateful to De Montfort University, the Victoria and

Albert Museum, and the Arts and Humanities Research

Council for financial support that made these talks

possible. We are especially grateful to the speakers

themselves for their contributions.
