Tamesis Books in Something Directory

 

The imprint was founded in 1963 by John Earl Varey, Emeritus Professor of Spanish at Queen Mary and Westfield College, London, a leading authority on Spanish Golden Age drama. His inspired trawling through the remarkable Spanish theatre archives led to seminal publications, hugely enriching the study of the history of the theatre in western Europe, and of particular interest to those involved with the reconstruction of Shakespeares Globe Theatre in London. Professor Stephen Hart (now at University College London, previously at the University of Kentucky) is Commissioning Editor with overall responsibility for the imprint while Professor Alan Deyermond, assisted by Dr Julian Weiss, advises on medieval and Renaissance themes. Professor Vareys collaborator, Dr Charles Davis, remains in charge of the ground-breaking series on Spanish theatre, known as Fuentes para la Historia del Teatro en España. Annotated editions of individual texts appear in the Textos series, while Monografías cover a wide range of topics, mainly literary, from medieval to modern times, embracing not only the Iberian Peninsula but also Latin America, not only Spanish but Portuguese and Catalan. The Tamesis imprint is now fully absorbed into Boydell & Brewer, to whom enquiries should initially be addressed. We are delighted to hear from potential authors and a web proposal form is available at this site.
