Cooperative Publishing Agreement

In 2015, The Folger Shakespeare Library and the University of Pennsylvania Press established a formal publishing agreement. The press will publish several volumes a year that arise from activities at the Folger Shakespeare Library with a title page notice that the volume is published “in cooperation with Folger Shakespeare Library.” Those with relevant monographs or essay collections emerging from Folger research or programming should bring them to the attention of their contact at the Folger; either of the Folger Institute’s Associate Directors would be happy to advise: Amanda Herbert (Fellowships) or Owen Williams (Scholarly Programs).

We expect many such volumes to emerge from work substantially shaped by Folger Institute sponsorship—whether as a research fellow or a member of a scholarly program. The topics and methodological approaches can be as broad as those of the collections and research activities of the Folger itself. The agreement is non-exclusive and the editorial review process is overseen entirely by the University of Pennsylvania Press.

A growing list of publications is resulting from this agreement. Titles include:

Megan Cook, The Poet and the Antiquaries: Chaucerian Scholarship and the Rise of Literary History, 1532-1635 (2019).
Katherine Eggert, Disknowledge: Literature, Alchemy, and the End of Humanism in Renaissance England (2015). Eggert worked on the project as an Andrew W. Mellon long-term fellow at the Folger in 2007-08.
Musa Gurnis, Mixed Faith and Shared Felling: Theater in Post-Reformation London (2018).
Ivan Lupić, Subjects of Advice: Drama and Counsel from More to Shakespeare (2019). Lupić worked on the project as a short-term fellow at the Folger in 2015-16.
Karen Newman and Jane Tylus, eds., Early Modern Cultures of Translation (2015). Newman and Tylus co-organized a Folger Institute conference on “Early Modern Translation: Theory, History, Practice” in 2011.
Kristen Poole and Owen Williams, eds., Early Modern Histories of Time: The Periodizations of Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England (2019). The two co-organized a fall 2015 Folger Institute symposium. 

Forthcoming:

Thomas Fulton, "The Book of Books," a project Fulton worked on as a Folger NEH long-term fellow in 2015-16
Musa Gurnis, “Heterodox Drama: Theater in Post-Reformation London,” a project Gurnis worked on as a Folger short-term fellow in 2014-15.

We are proud of the central role that research at the Folger plays in so much influential scholarly writing, and we are delighted to partner with the University of Pennsylvania Press in this important endeavor.
