Canonising Shakespeare: Stationers and the Book Trade, 1640-1740 by Emma Depledg

Description: Canonising Shakespeare by Emma Depledge, Peter Kirwan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book appeals to scholars with interests in Shakespeares authorial and publication history and book history, from the Renaissance to the early eighteenth century. International experts show how booksellers, editors, printers and publishers shaped the Shakespeare canon, adapting the presentation of Shakespeares plays and poems for a range of consumers. Publisher Description Canonising Shakespeare offers the first comprehensive reassessment of Shakespeares afterlife as a print phenomenon, demonstrating the crucial role that the book trade played in his rise to cultural pre-eminence. 1640–1740 was the period in which Shakespeares canon was determined, in which the poems resumed their place alongside the plays in print, and in which artisans and named editors crafted a new, contemporary Shakespeare for Restoration and eighteenth-century consumers. A team of international contributors highlight the impact of individual booksellers, printers, publishers and editors on the Shakespearean text, the books in which it was presented, and the ways in which it was promoted. From radical adaptations of the Sonnets to new characters in plays, and from elegant subscription volumes to cheap editions churned out by feuding publishers, this period was marked by eclecticism, contradiction and innovation as stationers looked to the past and the future to create a Shakespeare for their own times. Author Biography Emma Depledge is lecturer in Restoration and eighteenth-century literature at the Université de Fribourg, Switzerland. She has published a number of articles on Shakespeare in the Restoration and her first book explores the publication, performance and adaptation of Shakespeares plays from 1642–1700.
