Book Description
'A man who is right twenty-four hours before everyone else, is taken for a lunatic for twenty-four hours.' (Antoine de Rivarol, 1753-1801) Well, I am looked at as a fool or a seditious maverick. At 20 I was starting to be an economist or economic historian, but the world of the media seduced me for a long time, all the while keeping my interest in psychology and handwriting analysis, and the latter became the guide thread of this book in the Shakespeare authorship debate. As a theatregoing teenager and University student, I watched performances of Shakespeare's plays staged in Budapest, and read them several times in the original or Hungarian translation. I also listened to lectures on psychology at the Free University, and realized how up-to-date psychological knowledge is concentrated in these centuries-old plays. At the same time, my studies in graphology brought me to Shakespeare's six signatures, and discovered an incomprehensible gap between the personality encoded in this handwriting and the traits needed to create such plays. My further analysis of the signatures confirmed that William Shakspere of Stratford could in no way have been the author of Shakespeare's works; the 'Swan of Avon' or the 'Bard of Stratford' was actually illiterate. This has been confirmed by the contents of his will and all other information available about him. My uncertainty was dispelled by the fact that famous scholars, writers and artists had already judged this part of the authorship the same way: Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Henry James, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sigmund Freud, Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and many others. But I did not have time and inclination to wander further in the jungle of speculations about the concealed real author. In the meantime the situation has changed. Archives became available through the internet, and I have got enough free time as I retired. The digitisation of old manuscripts boosted many historical and philological research on authorship, but literary scholars still know very little about the significance of handwriting analysis and they are walking around blindfolded to the obvious fact that longhand is a physical evidence of the manuscripts' origin. This awakened the sleeping rebel in me - who completed this book. Not an easy read, but an exciting intellectual adventure for those infected with the virus of independent thinking.

Book Description
The Shakespeare Multiverse: Fandom as Literary Praxis argues that fandom offers new models for a twenty-first century reading practice that embraces affective pleasure and subjective self-positioning as a means of understanding a text. Part critical study, part source book, The Shakespeare Multiverse suggests that fannish contributions to the ongoing expansion of the object that we call Shakespeare is best imagined as a multiverse, encompassing different worlds that consolidate the various perspectives that different fans bring to Shakespeare. Our concept of the multiverse redefines ‘Shakespeare’ not as a singular body of work, but as space where a process of inquiry and cultural memory – memories in the making, and those already made – is influenced and shaped by the technologies available to the reader. Characteristic of fandom is an intertextual reading strategy that we term cyborg reading, an approach that accommodates the varied elements of identity, politics, culture, sexuality, and race that shape the ways that Shakespeare is explored and appropriated throughout fannish reading communities. The Shakespeare Multiverse intersects literary theory, fan studies, and popular culture as it traverses Shakespeare fandom from the 1623 Folio to the age of the Internet, exploring the different textures of fan affect, from those who firmly uphold fidelity to the text to those who sit on the very edge of the fandom, threatening to cross over into Shakespearean anti-fandom. By recognizing the literary value of fandom, The Shakespeare Multiverse offers a new approach to literary criticism that challenges the limits of hegemonic authority and recognizes the value of a joyfully speculative critical praxis.

Book Description
From the author of How We Die, the extraordinary story of the development of modern medicine, told through the lives of the physician-scientists who paved the way. How does medical science advance? Popular historians would have us believe that a few heroic individuals, possessing superhuman talents, lead an unselfish quest to better the human condition. But as renowned Yale surgeon and medical historian Sherwin B. Nuland shows in this brilliant collection of linked life portraits, the theory bears little resemblance to the truth. Through the centuries, the men and women who have shaped the world of medicine have been not only very human, but also very much the products of their own times and places. Presenting compelling studies of great medical innovators and pioneers, Doctors gives us a fascinating history of modern medicine. Ranging from the legendary Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, to Andreas Vesalius, whose Renaissance masterwork on anatomy offered invaluable new insight into the human body, to Helen Taussig, founder of pediatric cardiology and co-inventor of the original "blue baby" operation, here is a volume filled with the spirit of ideas and the thrill of discovery.

Book Description
Teaching Shakespeare through performance has a long history, and active methods of teaching and learning are a logical complement to the teaching of performance. Virtual reality ought to be the logical extension of such active learning, providing an unrivalled immersive experience of performance that overcomes historical and geographical boundaries. But what are the key advantages and disadvantages of virtual reality, especially as it pertains to Shakespeare? And more interestingly, what can Shakespeare do for VR (rather than vice versa)? This Element, the first on its topic, explores the ways that virtual reality can be used in the classroom and the ways that it might radically change how students experience and think about Shakespeare in performance.
