1 Diane K. Jakacki 395 Kingscourt Dr. Department of English Unit 4 Language and Literature Waterloo, ON N2K 3R4 200 University Ave. dkjakack@artsmail.uwaterloo.ca Waterloo, ON Canada N2L 3G1 US Citizen Education:, Waterloo, Ontario. Doctor of Philosophy, Candidate. Degree expected: Summer Department of English Language and Literature Areas of Specialization: Shakespeare, medieval and early modern literature and drama, visual rhetoric, multimedia theory and design, and the challenges inherent in adopting humanities computing methods for research projects. Dissertation title: "Covetous to parley with so sweet a frontis-peece": Modes of Illustration in Early Modern English Play-Texts Supervisor: Dr. Katherine Acheson Committee: Dr. Sarah Tolmie and Dr. Jennifer Roberts-Smith My dissertation analyzes patterns of visual rhetoric in the illustrated title pages of seventeenth-century English printed drama. These images raise significant questions about publication practices, politics, and the relationship between the contemporary theatrical audience and the reading public. Furthermore, they represent definite and hitherto unacknowledged emphasis on performance aspects of published drama, thereby communicating distinctive value to their viewers.
