Description
Introduces a special issue dedicated to Shakespeare's references to Padua, summarizing the collected essays and addressing references to Padua in the Towneley mystery play ("Magnus Herodes") and in ClP (27). Suggests that Chaucer's linking of Padua with "creative effort and academic endeavor" characterized the city in "English collective imagination."
