Editor's Note

EDITOR'S NOTE The editors would like to thank the contributors to this number of the Bulletin of the Comediantes and to invite scholars to submit their work to the journal. In recognition of the upcoming four-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Part 1 ofDon Quijote, we will devote a number of the journal to Cervantes's theater and to theatrical elements in Cervantes's writings. As a means of extending the celebration, we also would like to feature essays on the comedias and entremeses , by scholars from the U.S. and abroad, in the next few volumes ; please think of BCom if you are working in this area. We are interested in publishing essays, perhaps in the form of a special number, on current theoretical approaches to early modern Spanish drama. Please let me know, by letter or e-mail, if you are interesting in participating in such a project. I am thinking of something along the lines of several studies published in recent years, with the participation of a number of comediantes ; an example is the beautifully titled El arte nuevo de estudiar comedias, edited by Barbara Simerka. As we end another publishing year, I would like to thank the members of the editorial advisory board, assistant editor Bradley Nelson, and book review editor Thomas O'Connor, for their tireless efforts on behalf of the journal. I would like publicly to thank the managing editor José A. Madrigal, without whom there would be no Bulletin of the Comediantes. E.H.F. 247 ...
