So, it's a new semester, but I've barely met my students yet, because between MLK Day weekend and the ice storm, there haven't been any F2F classes for nine days. I hope this doesn't make things too weird when we finally meet again. I always feel like those first few weeks are delicate, while classes are finding a vibe that's going to last for the rest of the semester, and rapport is getting established, or not.
On the other hand, I had plenty of time to write fluff about a hapless boy actor ordered to capture a toad because Master Burbage is taking his side-part as Paddock way too seriously, with some help from John Heminges's unruly pack of daughters: Familiars.
Other fic-roundup stuff from the last couple of months: Improving Fortinbras (Hamlet, post-canon, all the dead characters stay dead for once); Five Shakespeare Characters Who Accidentally Earned an Advanced Degree By Fighting a Snake (and One Who Didn't). (What it says on the tin. Because there clearly needed to be a crossover between FAQ: The Snake-Fight Portion of Your Thesis Defense and the complete works of Shakespeare.)
Otherwise, I've been rejiggering syllabi to deal with a missed week of classes and, simultaneously, looking over the table of contents for the new Norton Anthology of English Literature, which is coming out later this year.
( Let's see if I can still remember how to put stuff under a cut )
