This collection of essays offers a vital contribution to this critical debate, and examines its wider implications for how we conceive of Shakespeare and his works. -- .
This collection of essays is part of a new phase in Shakespeare studies. The traditional view of Shakespeare is that he was a man of the theatre who showed no interest in the printing of his plays, producing works that are only fully realised in performance. This view has recently been challenged by critics arguing that Shakespeare was a literary ''poet-playwright'', concerned with his readers as well as his audiences. Shakespeare''s Book offers a vital contribution to this critical debate, and examines its wider implications for how we conceive of Shakespeare and his works. Bringing together an impressive group of international Shakespeare scholars, the volume explores both Shakespeare''s relationship with actual printers, patrons, and readers, and the representation of writing, reading, and print within his works themselves.
