Cheering comment on my 1984 book found when looking for all my articles in the Lopez Expedition files--the 1851 attempt to free Cuba from Spain

 Very curious to me that Biblical scholars, Medieval scholars, Renaissance scholars, and (jumping) scholars of modern British fiction have been open to my ideas when too many of the American critics have merely been defensive.

Jennifer A. Low and Nova Myhill, eds., Imagining the Audience in Early Modern Drama (London: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011), a chapter by Jeremy Lopez, “Fitzgrave’s Jewel: Audience and Anticlimax in Middleton and Shakespeare” (p. 204):

 “Parker’s book [FLAWED TEXTS AND VERBAL ICONS] is about the relationship between textual variation and critical interpretation in American literature, but his method and his conclusions—particularly chapter 2, ‘The Determinacy of the Creative Process’—have been very influential for my thinking in this essay and are pertinent to the study of early modern drama in a way few critics have recognized.”

VERY CHEERING. Now to get back to my cousin who was sent to Spain as a prisoner in 1851.
