Pedagogical Partnership expands as MoEML Director visits Washington College, MD
MoEML’s Pedagogical Partnership Project is going from strength to strength!
Last month we published an article on the Blackfriars Theatre produced by partner Peter
C. Herman and his class at San
Diego State University. Then, last week, MoEML Director, Janelle Jenstad, gave
a talk about the project at Washington
College in Chestertown, Maryland, and visited the class of one of our
newest partners, Professor Kathryn Moncrief.
Moncrief’s class will be producing a collaboratively written article on The Rose playhouse. One of her students has written a
news story on their English Department website about Janelle’s visit
and their exciting new venture with us, as has the WC student newspaper, The Elm.
Moncrief is just one of a growing roster of MoEML pedagogical partners. We currently have
nine other
professors scattered around the globe, from Auckland, New Zealand to Exeter,
England to Arlington, Texas, who have decided to incorporate a MoEML module into their
early modern literature and theatre
courses, including the following:
-
Tom Bishop and his English/Drama class at The University of Auckland will prepare an article on the Theatre playhouse.
-
Briony Frost and her M.A. Renaissance Literature class (
Country, City and Court: Renaissance Literature, 1558-1618
) at Exeter University will prepare encyclopedia entries on many of the sites (numbered 1-12) on The Queen’s Majesty’s Passage. -
Sarah Hogan and her students at Wake Forest University will prepare an encylcopedia article for MoEML.
-
Shannon Kelley and her Shakespeare Survey class at Fairfield University will prepare encyclopedia entries on the gardens on the Agas map, including the Bear Garden.
-
Kevin Quarmby and his Autumn 2014 sophomore Shakespeare class at Oxford College of Emory University will prepare an article on Bearbaiting in Early Modern London.
-
Meg Roland and the students in her
Study Abroad in London and Rome: Tracing Empire
course at Marylhurst University will prepare an article on the London Wall and/or Bishopsgate. -
Anita Sherman and the undergraduate/graduate students in her
Revenge Drama and City Comedy: Shakespeare’s Contemporaries
course at American University will be doing a place-based reading of Ben Jonson’s Bartholomew Fair and will prepare articles on Smithfield and some of the surrounding streets and sites. -
Amy Tigner and her graduate seminar at the University of Texas, Arlington will collectively research and write an article on the Thames.
-
Donna Woodford-Gormley and her Autumn 2014
Shakespeare: From the Globe to the Global
class at New Mexico Highlands University will prepare an article on the Globe playhouse.
These partners have kindly agreed to share their course syllabi so that others
can benefit from their experience. To see the syllabi and to put faces to the
names of these new partners, visit our Pedagogical Partnership Project page.

Blackfriars Theatre
The history of the two Blackfriars theatres is long and fraught with legal and political struggles. The story begins in 1276, when King Edward I gave to the Dominican order five acres of land.Blackfriars Theatre is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Rose
Built in 1587 by theatre financier Philip Henslowe, the Rose was Bankside’s first open-air amphitheatre playhouse (Egan). Its foundation, excavated in 1989, reveals a fourteen-sided structure about 22 metres in diameter, making it smaller than other contemporary playhouses (White 302). Relatively free of civic interference and surrounded by pleasure-seeking crowds, the Rose did very well, staging works by such playwrights as Shakespeare, Marlowe, Kyd, and Dekker (Egan).The Rose is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Theatre
The first purpose-built playhouse in England, the Theatre, located in Shoreditch, was constructed in 1576 by actor James Burbage. While direct evidence of plays performed at the Theatre is rare, scholars have inferred that the playhouse was used by the Queen Elizabeth’s Men, Earl of Leicester’s Men, Earl of Warwick’s Men, Lord Strange’s Men, Admiral’s Men, Chamberlain’s Men, and Earl of Pembroke’s Men. In 1598, the Theatre was dismantled after a land dispute and was relocated to Bankside were it was erected as theGlobe.
The Theatre is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bear Garden
The Bear Garden was never a garden, but rather a polygonal bearbaiting arena whose exact locations across time are not known (Mackinder and Blatherwick 18). Labelled on the Agas map asThe Bearebayting,
the Bear Garden would have been one of several permanent structures—wooden arenas, dog kennels, bear pens—dedicated to the popular spectacle of bearbaiting in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.Bear Garden is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Wall
Originally built as a Roman fortification for the provincial city of Londinium in the second century C.E., the London Wall remained a material and spatial boundary for the city throughout the early modern period. Described by Stow ashigh and great
(Stow 1:8), the London Wall dominated the cityscape and spatial imaginations of Londoners for centuries. Increasingly, the eighteen-foot high wall created a pressurized constraint on the growing city; the various gates functioned as relief valves where development spilled out to occupy spacesoutside the wall.
The Wall is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Bishopsgate is mentioned in the following documents:
-
Smithfield
Smithfield was an open, grassy area located outside the Wall. Because of its location close to the city centre, Smithfield was used as a site for markets, tournaments, and public executions. From 1123 to 1855, the Bartholomew’s Fair took place at Smithfield (Weinreb, Hibbert, Keay, and Keay 842).Smithfield is mentioned in the following documents:
-
The Thames
Perhaps more than any other geophysical feature, the Thames river has directly affected London’s growth and rise to prominence; historically, the city’s economic, political, and military importance was dependent on its riverine location. As a tidal river, connected to the North Sea, the Thames allowed for transportation to and from the outside world; and, as the longest river in England, bordering on nine counties, it linked London to the country’s interior. Indeed, without the Thames, London would not exist as one of Europe’s most influential cities.

The Globe
The Globe was the open-air, public theatre in which William Shakespeare was a shareholder. It was one of the theatres at which the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, later the King’s Men, regularly performed.

It was an open-air, polygonal theatre with standing room around a thrust stage and three levels of gallery seating. It was built in 1599, burnt down in 1613, rebuilt in 1614 and closed in 1642. A modern reconstruction now stands a short distance from the site of the original in Bankside.The Globe is mentioned in the following documents:
