Like the previous one, this symposium was called "Shakespeare and His Contemporaries." For the first time the Iowa State Shakespeare Symposium collaborated with the Iowa Shakespeare Festival. During the symposium, the Festival's committee brought three productions to the Iowa State University's Fisher Theatre. These plays were Henry I V, Part I, performed by the University of Northern Iowa's theatre group, Measure for Measure, performed by the University of Iowa's theatre group, and Mac­ beth, performed by the Iowa State University's theatre group. In addition to the performances at Iowa State University, these plays were presented through­ out the State of Iowa. The symposium featured two addresses. In the first, Jack 0 'Brien, artistic director of the Old Globe Theatre of San Diego, California, discussed the problems mounting productions of Shakespeare and of educating actors to play Shakespearean roles. In the second, Stephen Orgel, professor of English at John Hopkins University, examined the ways in which Shakespeare's plays were staged from the earliest productions until the nineteenth century as represented in paintings, engravings, book plates, and written descriptions. The papers presented here were delivered on April 15 and 16. The form in which they appear represents further consideration by each author of his/her topic since the meeting of the symposium.

Caldwell* ABSTRACT. In The Winter's Tale Shakespeare dramatizes the debate between Inigo Jones and Ben Jonson by shifting the play's structure between verbal and visual, or what ] onson calls the soul and body of the masque. In V.iii , however, Shakespeare brings body and soul together. There, the masque itself becomes a meditation, using sensory images which work upon the memory and understanding, to confirm its principal spectator, Leontes, in the con­ viction of Hermione's innocence. By showing Leontes attain joyful insight through the same fallible senses which have so often misled characters in the play, Shakespeare redeems the artistic powers of the imagination. Moreover, Leontes, whose jealousy provokes the chaos of the play, restores order through the powers traditionall y accorded the masque's royal benefactor and imaginative participant. Index Descriptors: word, spectacle, masque, Ben ] onson, Inigo ] ones, medi tation, and spiritual exercises. In The Winter's Tale Shakespeare dramatizes the debate between Inigo Jones and Ben Jonson by juxtaposing word and spectacle within the play. Denying
