My current activity in research and teaching is chiefly concerned with the history of Shakespeare performance, as reflected in  Shakespeare's Theatre: a Dictionary of His Stage Context (Continuum International, 2002, 2004, and on the internet by Credo Reference) and in the website at:  http://shakespearestaging.berkeley.edu This website has just (August  2016) been thoroughl;y revised and restructured. My full personal bibliography can be found on that site. Similar updating has been completed in the site devoted to performances of John Milton at  http://miltonrevealed.berkeley.edu .Recently some of this material has been consolidated into a book entitled Shakespeare's Tragedies Reviewed: a Spectator's Role, published by Peter Lang on August 30  2015. Peter Lang also published in February 2018 an anthology of my Shakespeare essays over the last fifty years under the title Shakespeare Relocated: Studies in Historical Psychology. Fuller versions of my recent research can be found in my entry on the site academia.edu.  I continue to teach regularly for the UCB Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, most recently on Milton, Shakespeare, and modern drama (2016, 2018) Several of my books have recently been reprinted or reviewed up to fifty years after publication, such as The School pf Love and Renaissance Landscapes.See also the review of Shakespeare's Sexual Comedy, below,

I am currently working on upgrading our website at Shakespeare's Staging by the addition of digitalized versions of the recordings of our forty productions of plays by Shakespeare, Milton, Webster, Calderon, etc., hitherto available fragmentarialy on YouTube. This proces will be aided by the award of a Edward Dickson Emeriti Professorship for distinguished service to the Uniniversity.
