Catechisms and Women’s Writing in SeventeenthCentury England Paula McQuade | DePaul University, Chicago

This book describes how poetry, theology, and politics intersect in the early modern conscience.

Judith W. Page | University of Florida

Antony Rowland | Manchester Metropolitan University

Prynne to relative newcomers such as Sandeep Parmar and Ahren Warner • Shows how enigmatical poetry cuts across the categories of mainstream and ‘innovative’ poetry

Shakespeare, Popularity and the Public Sphere Jeffrey S. Doty | University of North Texas

When Shakespeare emphasized the importance of winning popular opinion, he offered ordinary playgoers a new understanding of power: to succeed, politicians needed the assent of the people. This book argues that Shakespeare’s dramatization of ‘popularity’ encouraged playgoers to understand public relations tactics and that it underlined their role in a critical public sphere.

• An innovative study of Shakespeare’s theatre as a major institution within the early modern public sphere • Connects Shakespeare to modern political culture through his attention to popularity and public relations • Offers a theoretically nuanced account of the public sphere by exploring how ordinary playgoers engaged with Elizabethan and Jacobean politics through the plays they watched • Bridges recent studies in early modern historiography with Shakespeare studies, with a particular focus on political communication/publics 218pp 13 b/w illus.

Shakespeare, Violence and Early Modern Europe Andrew Hiscock | Bangor University

Providing close readings of Shakespeare’s history plays, compelling insights into late Elizabethan politics and renewed attention to neglected contemporary accounts of Elizabeth I from across Europe, this book uncovers the truly international environment through which the final years of the last Tudor monarch should be understood.

• Uncovers the dilemmas and traumas of late sixteenth-century England, demonstrating the close connection between Shakespeare’s dramatic art and the power play of Elizabethan politics during the 1590s • Releases Shakespeare from a solidly Anglophone tradition of English literature, showing how European dramatists, librettists, poets and prose writers re-imagined Elizabeth, Ralegh, Essex and Shakespeare for audiences and readers in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries • Places Shakespearean drama and Elizabethan political life in conversation with modern theoretical debate concerning brutality, victimization, complicity and the status and function of violence itself 290pp 4. 2022 9781108830188 Hardback GBP 75.00 / USD 105.00 eISBN 9781108909464

Shakespeare’s ‘Lady Editors’

Shakespeare’s Dialectic of Hope From the Political to the Utopian Hugh Grady | Arcadia University, Pennsylvania

This study charts how Shakespeare’s early fascination with power developed into the profoundly optimistic utopian visions suffusing his later tragicomedies. Hugh Grady shows how five of Shakespeare’s most important plays presciently confront dilemmas of an emerging modernity, diagnosing and indicting instrumental politics and capitalism.

• Makes concrete the dialectical connection between Shakespeare’s earlier political dramas (histories and most tragedies) with the late plays or tragicomedies which concluded his career • Demonstrates how the political and the aesthetic-utopian work not only as binary opposites but instantiate a dialectical process in which one develops a counter-concept that completes and fulfils the other • Reveals how five of Shakespeare’s most important plays – Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Antony and Cleopatra, The Winter’s Tale and The Tempest – presciently confront dilemmas of an emerging modernity, enabling new and surprising symbioses between political and aesthetic critical concepts 280pp 4. 2022 9781009098090 Hardback GBP 75.00 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781009106986

• Provides a range of fresh historical contexts for analysis of Shakespeare’s linguistic practices and an original argument about their cultural and ideological significance • Proposes original readings of several plays, notably The Merry Wives of Windsor and the second tetralogy of history plays • Offers new readings of many specific words and phrases used by Shakespeare 255pp 3 b/w illus. 1 table 9. 2021 9781108725460 Paperback GBP 22.99 / USD 29.99 10. 2019 9781108493734 Hardback GBP 75.00 / USD 99.99 eISBN 9781108643245

Skepticism in Early Modern English Literature

A New History of the Shakespearean Text Molly G. Yarn

The Problems and Pleasures of Doubt Anita Gilman Sherman | American University, Washington DC

From novelists and professors to suffragists and Irish revolutionaries, Shakespeare’s women editors lived extraordinary lives and produced editions that, throughout England and America, were read and used by people of all ages. This compelling book draws on book history, literary studies and women’s history alike to tell their remarkable stories.

• Rewrites and reassesses the Shakespearean editorial tradition, drawing on unpublished archival material and previously undervalued books to revive the lives and work of nearly seventy women editors of Shakespeare • Makes editorial history and textual studies accessible and relatable by focusing on biography and storytelling alongside incisive textual and historical analysis • Compiles new data in two detailed appendices, offering valuable new reference material and opening exciting avenues for future research

Skeptical doubt – a foundation of modernity – inspired the burst of artistic creativity illuminating the age of Shakespeare. Literary and philosophical innovation flourished when writers like Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Cavendish, Marvell and Milton channeled their skeptical questions and doubts, forever changing the face of English literature.

• Provides a more holistic view of early modern skepticism, showing how it influences conditions of human possibility represented in literature • Organized around key topics on skepticism, including nominalism, fantasies of private language, illusions of neutrality, parodies of sovereignty, and exercises in aesthetic discrimination • Offers an extended chronological account, allowing readers to see the varied effects and shaping influence of skepticism in history and literature over time

This is a unique study of how readers have engaged with Shakespeare’s Sonnets over four centuries.

The Cambridge History of the English Short Story

Andrew Hodgson | University of Birmingham

Dominic Head | University of Nottingham

Aimed at students and readers of poetry at all levels, The Cambridge Guide to Reading Poetry takes a tour through a galaxy of examples, demonstrating how to come to terms with poetry’s verbal, formal, emotional, and conceptual power.

It shows how reading poems enhances our enjoyment and understanding of life.

• Demonstrates how reading and discussing a poem enriches our experience and understanding of life and shows – even before engaging with more technical aspects of analysis – that poetry matters • Furnishes students with an array of differing approaches to the challenge of unlocking a poem, providing worked examples and taking the reader through the process of rising to that challenge • Puts readers at ease by showing the ‘difficulty’ of poetry to be something felt by everyone, and to be part of what makes it rewarding • Reveals through worked examples how technical questions are always bound up with what a poem has to say and show us, thus training students to see metre and rhyme as means of expression and not merely matter for dry analysis • Fires enthusiasm for the sheer variety of poetry in English by introducing examples from the medieval period to the present and from a variety of geographical regions, offering students starting points for their own independent exploration • Helps

This is the first volume to capture the literary history of the English short story. Written by international experts, it seeks to overcome obstacles that have hindered this venture by providing readers with a chronological account of the short story from its origins to the present day.

• Presents the first comprehensive analysis of the short story in England in one volume • Combines a chronological survey with a thorough account of different generic forms to facilitate an understanding of how forms and techniques have evolved • Provides readers with an exhaustive overview of the short story to encourage comparative study

The Spread of Print in Colonial India

Peter W. M. Blayney

M. Blayney shows how a close, engaged and ‘archaeological’ examination of printed books can reveal novel and illuminating historical facts undiscoverable by other means 290pp 4. 2022 9781108837415 Hardback GBP 29.99 / USD 39.99 eISBN 9781108939713

Asian literature The Comic Storytelling of Western Japan Satire and Social Mobility in Kamigata Rakugo M. W. Shores | University of Sydney

• The first English monograph on Kamigata rakugo • First English translation of complete rakugo stories • Comprehensive study of Kamigata rakugo from the seventeenth century to the present day.
