[damned_colonial]

Please suggest themes you'd like to see covered here! Cut and paste the following into a comment:

ETA: please put your theme in the subject of your comment!

Theme:
Are you prepared to run it? Yes/No
Suggested books, if you have them already:


What does it mean to run the theme?

1. At least one month in advance, you'll let everyone know about the theme and your suggested reading for it. You need to suggest at least 3 works of fiction.
2. On the first of the month, you will post a welcome/introduction/kickoff for the theme.
3. Throughout the month, you'll take an active part in discussion of the theme.

You do not have to be an expert on the theme to run it. You just need to have an interest in it.

Another good sub-set of Elizabethan might be Shakespeare-related fiction. Or broaden it to Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Elizabethan playwrights in general.

Yes!! - that occurred to me last night after I'd switched the computer off. Alas, Antonia Forest's 2 YA novels The Player's Boy and The Players and the Rebels are fairly hard to get hold of. Both were reprinted by Girls Gone By but The Player's Boy is already OP.
