  • AN EXAMINATION of PLAYS in MANUSCRIPT ET ME Begin by Stating As Clearly As I Can the Purpose L.4 of This Exploratory Study
    TEXTUAL DEGENERATION OF ELlZABETHAN AND STUART PLAYS: AN EXAMINATION OF PLAYS IN MANUSCRIPT ET ME begin by stating as clearly as I can the purpose l.4 of this exploratory study. It has seemed to me that in accounting for variation among Elizabethan and post-Eliza- bethan dramatic texts too little weight has been given to the activities of prompters and actors as compared with those of printers and copyists. According to R. B. McKerrow and Evelyn Albright,l the incompetence of printers has been greatly exaggerated, and the defense they offer seems sound and just, and, as for copyists, they seem, as a class, to have been the most efficient of those who worked on plays. On the other hand, the conditions of play production, now, in the Elizabethan age and in general, are such as not only to pro- voke alteration of texts but to necessitate it. The simplest in- vestigation of the history of Shakespeare on the stage (and on the screen) will reveal habitual and not infrequently vio- Ient modifications of his texts and even of his intentions. A visit to a production lot will convince any visitor that the pro- ducer feels free to alter the script without any reference to the author or what he has written. I remember a conversa- tion in 1908 with Eugene Walter, whose Paid in Full was then en uogue, and of hearing him describe without the least of- fense, indeed with pride, the great changes made in his play when it was produced on Broadway, Stage aIterations are and have been since the Elizabethan age and before the merest commonplace and by no means inconsiderable.

The Effectiveness of the Stylometry of Function Words in Discriminating between Shakespeare and Fletcher Thomas Bolton Horton Ph D University of Edinburgh 1987 rj Abstract A number of recent successful authorship studies have relied on a statistical analysis of language features based on function words. However, stylometry has not been extensively applied to Elizabethan and Jacobean dramatic questions. To determine the effectiveness of such an approach in this field, language features are studied in twenty-four plays by Shakespeare and eight by Fletcher. The goal is to develop procedures that might be used to determine the authorship of individual scenes in The Two Noble Kinsmen and Henry VIII. Homonyms, spelling variants and contracted forms in old-spelling dramatic texts present problems for a computer analysis.

  • Egan, Gabriel. 2004E. 'Pericles and the Textuality of Theatre'
    Egan, Gabriel. 2004e. 'Pericles and the Textuality of Theatre': A Paper Delivered at the Conference 'From Stage to Print in Early Modern England' at the Huntington Library, San Marino CA, USA, 19-20 March "Pericles" and the textuality of theatre" by Gabriel Egan The subtitle of our meeting, 'From Stage to Print in Early Modern England, posits a movement in one direction, from performance to printed book. This seems reasonable since, whereas modern actors usually start with a printed text of some form, we are used to the idea that early modern actors started with manuscripts and that printing followed performance. In fact, the capacity of a printed play to originate fresh performances was something that the title-pages and the preliminary matter of the first play printings in the early sixteenth century made much of. Often the printings helped would-be performers by listing the parts to be assigned, indicating which could be taken by a single actor, and even how to cut the text for a desired performance duration: . yf ye hole matter be playd [this interlude] wyl conteyne the space of an hour and a halfe but yf ye lyst ye may leue out muche of the sad mater as the messengers p<ar>te and some of the naturys parte and some of experyens p<ar>te & yet the matter wyl depend conuenytently and than it wyll not be paste thre quarters of an hour of length (Rastell 1520?, A1r) The earliest extant printed play in English is Henry Medwall's Fulgens and Lucrece (Medwall 1512-16) but the tradition really begins with the printing of the anonymous Summoning of Every Man (Anonymous c.1515) that W.

  • Edition/Copy: New Approaches to Reading & Editing Early Modern Books
    [ ABSTRACTS ] EDITION/COPY: NEW APPROACHES TO READING & EDITING EARLY MODERN BOOKS SHAKESPEARE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA ANNUAL MEETING 2020 Rhizomatic Influence & the Sole Survivor Ian De Jong As a genre, the early modern lottery book epitomizes print’s hybrid potential. Its design usually invites active readerly involvement and engagement, sometimes participates in ideological contention, and always troubles its own classification as “book.” The Booke of Fortune, a 1618 translation of the Italian Libro di Sorti (1482), is one such hybrid, thick with material puzzles. It survives in one copy, as do most continental editions of the Libro di Sorti. So what happens to the edition/copy dichotomy when the edition is the copy? I argue that traditional models of comparative bibliography, which imagine texts as descendant from one another, fails to answer key questions about The Booke of Fortune and its place in early modern European book markets. Instead, I borrow Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s conceptual model of the rhizome, repurposing it to express the complex interplay between the material, ideological, aesthetic, and commercial impulses which may be imagined to have shaped The Booke of Fortune. Thinking of books as nodes in a rhizome opens novel possibilities for imagining both the history of the book and the book’s impact on early modern European history and culture. • Sir John Van Olden Barnavelt and the Uniqueness of Censored Plays Gabriella Edelstein “[C]ensorship is censorship”, Fredson Bowers wrote in his textual introduction to Fletcher and Massinger’s The Tragedy of Sir John Van Olden Barnavelt, in order to justify his editorial decision to present the play without the cuts and interpolations of the Master of the Revels, Sir George Buc, and the self-censoring scribe, Ralph Crane.

  • Article Reference
    Article Shakespeare and the Publication of His Plays ERNE, Lukas Christian Abstract Challenging the accepted view that Shakespeare was indifferent to the publication of his plays by focusing on the economics of the booktrade, examines the evidence that the playing companies resisted publishing their plays, reviews "the publication history of Shakespeare's plays, which suggests that the Lord Chamberlain's Men has a coherent strategy to try to get their playwright's plays into print," and "inquire[s] into what can or cannot be inferred from Shakespeare's alleged involvement (as with the narrative poems) or noninvolvement (as with the plays) in the publication of his writings." Concluding that publishers had little economic incentive to publish drama, calls for renewed attention to Shakespeare's attitude to his plays and their publication. Reference ERNE, Lukas Christian.

We may say, therefore, that printing may be delightful for many reasons, but that it is important, first and foremost, as a means of doing something. That is why it is mischievous to call any printed piece a work of art, especially fine art: because that would imply that its first purpose was to exist as an expression of beauty for its own sake and for the delectation of the senses.2 Warde‘s dichotomy between printing and art illustrates the difficulty of examining book design through the lens of art history. We view a painting or sculpture as the result of an artist‘s thought and labor. A poster may be thought of similarly (except with a more overtly commercial motive).

Editions and Textual Matters Six major critical editions appeared this year. For the Arden3 series: King Henry the Eighth edited by Gordon McMullan, King Henry VI Part One, edited by Edward Bums, and The Merry Wives of Windsor, edited by Giorgio Melchiori; for the Oxford Shakespeare: Richard III, edited by John Jowett, Romeo and Juliet, edited by Jill Levenson, and King Lear, edited by Stanley Wells. Of these, Melchiori's The Merry Wives of Windsor was not received in time to be included in this survey and will be reviewed next year. Several New Cambridge Shakespeare editions were published in 1999 and 2000 and these will be reviewed together in next year's survey. McMullan's introduction to Henry VIII runs to nearly 200 pages, nearly half of which is a 'Cultural History' constituting virtually a monograph on the play's meanings since its first performance.

  • Shakespeare Editions and Editors
    Shakespeare Editions and Editors The 16th and 17th Centuries The earliest texts of William Shakespeare’s works were published during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in quarto or folio format. Folios are large, tall volumes; quartos are smaller, roughly half the size. Early Texts of Shakespeare’s Works: The Quartos and Bad Quartos (1594-1623) Of the thirty-six plays contained in the First Folio of 1623, eighteen have no other source. The eighteen other plays had been printed in separate and individual editions at least once between 1594 and 1623. Pericles (1609) and The Two Noble Kinsmen (1634) also appeared separately before their inclusions in folio collections. All of these were quarto editions, with one exception: the first edition of Henry VI, Part 3 was printed in octavo form in 1594. Popular plays like Henry IV, Part 1 and Pericles were reprinted in their quarto editions even after the First Folio appeared, sometimes more than once. But since the prefatory matter in the First Folio itself warns against the earlier texts, 18th and 19th century editors of Shakespeare tended to ignore the quarto texts in favor of the Folio. Gradually, however, it was recognized that the quarto texts varied widely among themselves; some much better than others. It was the bibliographer Alfred W. Pollard who originated the term “bad quarto” in 1909, to distinguish several texts that he judged significantly corrupt. He focused on four early quartos: Romeo and Juliet (1597), Henry V (1600), The Merry Wives of Windsor (1602), and Hamlet (1603). His reasons for citing these texts as “bad” were that they featured obvious errors, changes in word order, gaps in the sense of the text, jumbled printing of prose as verse and verse as prose, and similar problems.

Shake-speare. Gent. Faith Acker This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of PhD at the University of St Andrews 11 October, 2012 iii Abstract The second edition of Shakespeare’s sonnets, titled Poems: Written by Wil. Shake-Speare, Gent, and published by stationer John Benson in 1640, was a text typical of its time. In an effort to update the old-fashioned sonnet sequence in which its contents had first reached print, the compiler or editor of the Bensonian version rearranged the poems from the earlier quarto text, adding titles and other texts thought to have been written by or about the sonnets’ author. The immediate reception of the 1640 Poems was a quiet one, but the volume’s contents and structure served as the foundation for more than half of the editions of Shakespeare’s sonnets produced in the eighteenth century. In part due to the textual instability created by the presence of two disparate arrangements of the collection, Shakespeare’s sonnets served only as supplements to the preferred Shakespearean canon from 1709 to 1790.
