Here you’ll find my ongoing list of sources, from academic journals to TV productions. I’ll update this regularly (so it currently only focuses on parts that I have covered), but consider all parts of it a work in progress.

With a thousand thanks to the National Library of Australia and the libraries of Australian National University, Canberra, and the University of Melbourne. Also ever grateful to the State Library of Victoria, and the library services of the City of Melbourne and City of Port Phillip.

Journals

If you’re serious about Shakespeare studies, academic journals are the way to go. Many can be accessed through reliable library websites such as JSTOR and Project MUSE. Individual access will set you back a fair amount, but check with your local, state, or national library. In Australia, for instance, anyone can get a library card to the National Library and access such resources from home. Some are only accessible, unfortunately, through universities, which usually restrict e-resources to actual students and staff, not external members. Still, there is a lifetime of deeper reading available for the armchair scholar. (And it’s always grand to read the highs and lows of critical eras gone by.)

Borrowers and Lenders: The Journal of Shakespeare and Appropriation, twice-yearly (2005 – present), published by the University of Georgia English Department
The Shakespeare Association Bulletin, 24 vol (1924-1949), published by Folger Shakespeare Library
Shakespeare Bulletin, quarterly (1982 – present), published by Johns Hopkins University Press
Shakespeare Quarterly, quarterly (1950 – present, following on from The Shakespeare Association Bulletin), published by the Folger Shakespeare Library and Johns Hopkins University Press. Still the high water-mark for Shakespeare studies, the first 62 years are available at JSTOR while new articles are released for those lucky ducks with access to Project MUSE.
Shakespeare Studies, annual (1973 – present, published by Boston University)
Shakespeare Survey, annual (1948 – present), published by Cambridge University Press
The Shakespeare Yearbook, annual (1990 – ??), published by Texas A&M University – I can’t find this anywhere as of 2017, so wondering if this has ceased publication.
The Upstart Crow, annual (1980 – 2012), published by Clemson University
