Rethinking Theatrical Documents in Shakespeare's England Summary

Rethinking Theatrical Documents in Shakespeare's England by Dr Tiffany Stern (The Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, UK)

This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched. Rethinking Theatrical Documents brings together fifteen major scholars to analyse and theorise the documents, lost and found, that produced a play in Shakespeare's England. Showing how the playhouse frantically generated paratexts, it explores a rich variety of entangled documents, some known and some unknown: from before the play (drafts, casting lists, actors' parts); during the play (prologues, epilogues, title-boards); and after the play (playbooks, commonplace snippets, ballads) - though 'before', 'during' and 'after' intertwine in fascinating ways. By using collective intervention to rethink both theatre history and book history, it provides new ways of understanding plays critically, interpretatively, editorially, practically and textually.

Rethinking Theatrical Documents in Shakespeare's England Reviews

An invaluable contribution of Rethinking Theatrical Documents is its expansion of both what constitutes the stuff of plays and how such play stuffs were manipulated. * Early Theatre *
