This is my first official request to the entire list: Our 8th grade English teacher has been trying to find out some historical information about the Globe Theater. It was rebuilt after the 1613 fire, and razed by the landowner in 1644. Does anyone know what happened to Shakespeare's share in the theater upon his death? Also, who was the landowner, how did he come own the land, why did he destroy the theater, and what stands on that site today? A second question: We are compiling a bibliography of fiction and non-fiction titles that focus on social commentary of life in the U.S. 1860's-1900, the "Muckraker" period, the Gilded Age. I have Bellamy, J. Addams, H. Alger, Dreiser, W.D. Howells, Henry James, Riis, U. Sinclair, Spargo, Tarbell, and Veblen. Please let me know what I might be missing. These books are for supplemental reading, for Advanced Placement students, and for students in a combined 10-12 cultural history class. If there is interest, I will (try!) to Target. Thanks for ALL your help. LM_NET is my link to the outside world from this "centrally isolated" location.
