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\u003cbr\u003echallenged 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\u003cbr\u003etogether 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Meek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719085611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Meek is Lecturer in Renaissance Literature at the University of York \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJane Rickard is Lecturer in Seventeenth-Century English Literature at the University of Leeds \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichard Wilson is Professor of English Literature at the University of Cardiff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40104776532083,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_8476db49-582a-4c8b-a5d3-a2caf7c84fe9.jpg?v=1653230101","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/shakespeares-book-essays-in-reading-writing-and-reception-9780719085611","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
