Anna Hegland Anna Hegland’s first edited collection, “The Theatrical Legacy of Thomas Middleton, 1624-2024,” will be published in April 2024 by Routledge.

The volume is the first collection of essays devoted to the lasting critical, historical, and performance legacy of Thomas Middleton — sometimes called “our other Shakespeare” — as a dramatist in his own right.
