elettaria: (Red daylily)
I'll cross-post this around and about, I want to make it as full a list as possible.

It all started when my attention wandered during a class on The Taming of the Shrew. I started leafing through the bibliography, and suddenly this title leapt to my eye:

"Bestial Buggery in A Midsummer Night's Dream"

I promptly burst out laughing, of course. Five minutes later, in the middle of a very serious discussion on scold's bridles, I envisaged walking into the library and demanding this article in ringing tones, and cracked up again.

After much deeply academic discussion, most of which is in a friends-locked post in [livejournal.com profile] eye_of_a_cat's journal, I have decided to start a list of various ridiculous article and book titles. Please suggest others and I will add them to the main post; we could even vote on the best ones. I want to create a real resource here. You may want to begin your journey at The Provokies. (My best friend, alarmingly, somehow misread "cat" for "girl" in the first named article.)

The list )
