Shakespeare Bulletin
journal
Shakespeare Bulletin is an academic journal founded in 1982. The journal focuses exclusively on performance studies and scholarly treatment of Shakespearean and early modern drama on stage and screen. Each issue contains original articles as well as theatre, film, and book reviews. Theatre coverage encompasses the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many other countries. From 1983 through 2003 the journal was published by Lafayette College with James P. Lusardi and June Schlueter serving as co-editors. In 1992 the Bulletin incorporated the Shakespeare on Film Newsletter, which had been in publication since 1976.
In 2004 Lusardi and Schlueter were succeeded as editor by Andrew James Hartley at which time the publisher of the Shakespeare Bulletin changed to the University of West Georgia. That institution published the journal until it was succeeded by Johns Hopkins University Press (JHUP), beginning with the volume 23, No. 4, Winter 2005 edition of the journal. As of 2024, the JHUP continues to publish the Shakespeare Bulletin.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
