Yeah. I remember wanting to focus on English (instead of philosophy or musicology) because it felt cool. In the late 90s. Sadly it did not help me become cool.

“professor” tends to mean “teacher” outside the academy (and not writer/author/researcher), so academics might reach for the other terms. and/or cede the other meanings of “professor.”

scholars gonna imagine performance how they fancy it. I got interested in CC doubling because I wanted to believe that the actor playing Cupid in Lyly's Galatea could have doubled as Peter. Both are impish whipping boys in what I'm thinking about as 'pederastic racialization' in child roles..

ha I mean "unlikely that Keysar's figure is too low" -- as in, 18-20 might be an upper limit. Anything to do with doubling is guesswork!

very likely! in which case they'd be deflating the figure -- and therefore it's unlikely that Keysar's figure is too high. And although I haven't done the numbers, I think you'd probably need a minimum of 18-20 actors to do a lot of CC plays _with_ doubling...

"these def[endents] haue heard it credibly reported & doe verely beleeue it to be true that those Actors w[hich] he the said Comp[lainant] had & kept allthough none such eyther of qualety or nomber" (2/2)

Yes, I read through the lawsuit after I reread the relevant section of Lucy's CQR book. Keysar's number is presumably on the high side because it speaks to damages -- which is why Burbage and Condell are at pains to deny it (1/2).

reminds me of this Buontalenti sketch of masque dancers -- with different politics, I guess! elizabethancostume.net/masque/image...

I don't think there's a wrong answer. I used "Imogen" in a recent essay with the rationale that, mistake or not, that's how the name appeared in print in the EM period.

I was thinking of you and Marilee while I was there. Never more need for amazing feminists like y'all and Lucinda :)
