After many years of leadership on the Shakespeare journal, Deborah Cartmell is stepping down as co-editor. Professor Cartmell founded Shakespeare in 2005 and has been a co-editor ever since, working initially with John Joughin, Stuart Hampton-Reeves and Gabriel Egan, and with Lisa Hopkins, Brett Greatley-Hirsch and Tom Rutter. Hers has been the guiding hand in the growth and development of the journal and she has worked tirelessly on expanding its reach and ensuring the inclusion of fresh perspectives. She will be very much missed as a co-editor, but the remaining editors are happy that she will now be joining the editorial board. The BSA Board of Trustees thanks Professor Cartmell for her invaluable contribution to the success of the journal.
