The 2009 – 2010 Scholar Award from the Philanthropic Educational Organization has enabled me to focus on writing during my final year of graduate school. A Mellon Visiting Research Fellowship in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies at the University of Warwick for the summer of 2009 provided the opportunity to write and research while also engaging a new campus and new colleagues. Two Folger Institute seminars have served as bookends for the conception and completion of this dissertation project, and I thank fellow participants and leaders of these seminars, and the always-helpful librarians and staff at the Folger Shakespeare Library. The Vanderbilt University Graduate School has enabled international research through a Dissertation Enhancement Grant for Spring 2009 and a College of Arts and Sciences Summer Research Award for 2008. I would like to thank all those I have had the pleasure to work with over the course of this project. Each member of my Dissertation Committee has provided invaluable insights into my dissertation writing process and into the profession itself. I would especially like to thank Professor Leah Marcus, the chair of my committee, both for all she has taught me and for her support and guidance as I worked to find my own voice.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

Rangkuti and Thom Wright Report Highlights: The Indonesian hotel and restaurant industries grew 6.25 and 3.89 percent in 2015, respectively. Industry contacts attribute the increase to continued urbanization, tourism, and MICE (Meeting, Incentive, Conference, and Exhibitions) development. The Bank of Indonesia expects that economic growth will fall around 4.9 to 5.3 percent in 2016 and 5.2 to 5.6 percent in 2017. Post: Jakarta I. MARKET SUMMARY Market Overview Indonesia is the most populous country in the ASEAN region with an estimated 2017 population of 261 million people. It is home to approximately 13,500 islands and hundreds of local languages and ethnic groups, although the population is mostly concentrated on the main islands of Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua. It is bestowed with vast natural resources, including petroleum and natural gas, lumber, fisheries and iron ore. Indonesia is a major producer of rubber, palm oil, coffee and cocoa. In 2015, Indonesian GDP declined to 4.79 percent. The Bank of Indonesia expects economic growth will reach between 4.9 and 5.3 percent in 2016 and 5.2 to 5.6 percent in 2017. This contrasts with growth rates above 6 percent during 2007 to 2012 period. Inflation has ranged between 2.79 (August) and 4.45 (March) during the January-October 2016 period, while the rupiah has remained weak vis-à- vis the U.S.
