Summary: | "Recent studies in early modern cultural bibliography have put forth a radically new Shakespeare - a man of keen literary ambition who wrote for page as well as stage. His work thus comes to be viewed as textual property and a material object not only seen theatrically but also bought, read, collected, annotated, copied, and otherwise passed through human hands. This Shakespeare was invented in large part by the stationers - publishers, printers, and booksellers - who produced and distributed his texts in the form of books. Yet Shakespeare's stationers have not received sustained critical attention."--Project Muse. |
