The Cambridge Shakespeare Edited by William George Clark and William Aldis Wright

The Cambridge Shakespeare was published in nine volumes between 1863 and 1866. Its careful editorial principles, attractive page design and elegant typography have withstood the test of time. This text was based on a thorough collation of the four Folios and of all the Quarto editions of the separate plays, the base text being the 1623 Folio. The critical apparatus appears at the foot of the page, but for passages where the Quarto differs significantly the entire Quarto text appears in small type after the received text.

Shakespearean Verse Speaking Text and Theatre Practice Abigail Rokison

£55.00

Through detailed historical and textual analysis, this book explores contemporary theatrical approaches to Shakespearean verse speaking and theatrical interaction with the edited text. Rokison argues the need for greater mutual understanding between actors and editors in the interpretation of lineation and punctuation in performance.

‘Abigail Rokison’s work is both fascinating and revelatory. It makes me hungry and impatient to return to Shakespeare armed with new insight and fresh inspiration. … As an actor what Rokison has to say is both helpful and inspiring. Everyone tackling Shakespeare in the rehearsal room needs to look at this. … There is so much received opinion spouted at actors in the name of Shakespeare. This work helps to puncture some of the more puffed up pomposities and give actors a fresh insight into their craft.’

Documents of Performance in Early Modern England Tiffany Stern University of Oxford

As well as being called ‘poets’, playwrights of Shakespeare’s period were known as ‘play-patchers’ because their texts were made up of separate documents. Using fresh print and manuscript evidence, Stern explores the piecemeal nature of the playscript in the theatre, redefining what a play, and what a playwright, actually is.

‘This revelatory work of original

‘This is an important contribution to the study of Shakespeare on film … it is meticulous, informative and critically sophisticated, written in a clear, persuasive and elegant style. It brings new ideas and perspectives to familiar films, stimulates interest in others and overall makes an outstanding contribution to its field.’

‘This book is an outstanding achievement, full of brilliant readings of both important careers and individual poems, and written in a lucid, acute and witty style. It is both accessible to the undergraduate and informative for the expert. It is deeply sympathetic with its subjects, and yet always judicious and cold-eyed in its appraisals. It is the work of a critic writing at the height of his powers.’

Providing a lively and engaging debate, this volume assesses the impact of the extraordinary Shakespeare’s Globe on Bankside, London. Featuring contributions from actors, musicians, Globe Education staff, Directors and internationally renowned scholars, the book provides a full and rounded account of this important period of theatre history.

In this provocative new view of poetic interrelationship, Neil Corcoran uncovers the relationships – combative as well as sympathetic – between Yeats, Eliot, Auden, Hughes and Plath, as they are intertwined in these poets’ engagements with Shakespeare.

Using a computer-assisted analysis of style, this study addresses the vexed question about what Shakespeare did and did not write. Through close linguistic study, the authors show that Shakespeare worked in collaboration with other writers on a number of plays inside and outside what is generally accepted as his canon. ‘ … Shakespeare, Computers, and the Mystery of Authorship deserves to become a landmark in its field. Not least, it establishes Shakespeare co-authorship on firm grounds.’

Shakespeare and the Power of Performance Stage and Page in the Elizabethan Theatre Robert Weimann University of California, Irvine

and Douglas Bruster University of Texas, Austin

Bridging the gap between today’s pageand stage-centred interpretations of Shakespeare’s works, Weimann and Bruster explore how the playwright responded to the competing claims of acting and writing in the Elizabethan era. Focussing on the trio of clown, fool, and cross-dressed boy actor, they demonstrate how Shakespeare explored issues of performance.

Religion and Revelry in Shakespeare’s Festive World Phebe Jensen Utah State University

Jensen examines the relationship between traditional festive pastimes – such as Midsummer pageants – and Shakespeare’s plays. In arguing that Shakespeare’s work reflects ongoing religious controversies concerning these pastimes, the book intervenes in recent controversies over religion’s role in Shakespeare’s theater, and the place of Catholicism in Shakespeare’s work and world.

James Stredder

The North Face of Shakespeare argues that successful active work arises directly from the extraordinary dramatic power of Shakespeare’s writing – from its language and poetry and its use of narrative and character. The book invites teachers and drama practitioners to think of their classroom as a stage, with their students as both actors and audience.

‘A necessary book for all English and Drama teachers, a cornucopia of active methods of teaching the plays … James Stredder works through the basic elements of language, narrative (plot) and character, then offers excellent advice on workshops.’
