Dating "Everyman" (not as slutty as it sounds)

CREMS Seminar

The recently-unearthed fragment of the first printed text of The Summoning of Everyman has now been dated with some precision through the use of sophisticated digital image recognition programs. Join Professor Eric Rasmussen, the editor of the play in the Arden Early Modern Drama series, for a voyage of discovery in which 21st-century technologies are employed to reveal the secrets of the earliest printed English drama.

Eric Rasmussen is Foundation Professor and Chair of the Department of English at the University of Nevada. He is the author of international best-seller The Shakespeare Thefts: In Search of the First Folios (Palgrave, 2011) and co-editor of the catalogue raisonné of the Shakespeare First Folio (Palgrave, 2012) as well as of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s edition of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, The Norton Anthology of English Renaissance Drama, the Arden Shakespeare edition of King Henry VI Part 3, and the Oxford World’s Classics Works of Christopher Marlowe.
