This article presents a brief skeptical response by Richard Strier and an extended reflection by Carla Mazzio on ‘Shakespeare and Embodiment: An E‐Conversation’ (doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐4113.2006.00180.x). The participants in this original online conversation included Mary Floyd‐Wilson, Gail Kern Paster, Tanÿa Pollard, Katherine Rowe, and Julian Yates; Matthew Greenfield moderated. The participants assessed the current state of work on early modern bodies, offered bibliographical suggestions, and suggested topics for future inquiries. Paster, a key figure in the development of this sub‐field, described her work to date as an “ecology of the passions” or an “ecology of the body” more generally; she called for more study of the “ensouled body.”
