Abstract

Marginalia, annotations, and insertions - of flowers or locks of hair, for example - make parts of a book's history particularly visible... We have seen a mother mourn her daughter on the flyleaf of her copy of Hemans ; a husband attach a memorial flower to the book of poems that his wife read on her deathbed ; a group of women add evaluative comments in the margins of a narrative romance ; a former soldier inscribe a copy of Tennyson to a friend based on his memories of reading together during the Civil War ; a woman annotate her beloved's copy of Longfellow and revisit those annotations many years later to lament his loss ; and many more examples of the personal alteration of nineteenth-century books. These instances clarify the fact that the meanings of all books are tied intextricably to their specific material forms and the reception of those forms across time. Books are and advanced technology of memory, each one a complex recond of its own making and use. Copies with marginalia and other legible interventions throw this general truth into sharp relief, as they give us rich scenes of history in the making.

Abstract

Through the reading records of Donne's poems and the concept of multiple referentiality, this study examines the social dimensions of early modern genres and the relationship among poetics, rhetoric and the Renaissance doctrines of imitation, placing systematic attention on how the differences oral and written modes of expression influences the process of reading and the early modern understanding of genre.

Abstract

In this groundbreaking study, Lukas Erne argues that Shakespeare, apart from being a playwright who wrote theatrical texts for the stage, was also a literary dramatist who produced reading texts for the page. The usual distinction that has been set up between Ben Jonson on the one hand, carefully preparing his manuscripts for publication, and Shakespeare the man of the theatre, writing for his actors and audience, indifferent to his plays as literature, is questioned in this book. Examining the evidence from early published playbooks, Erne argues that Shakespeare wrote many of his plays with a readership in mind and that these ‘literary’ texts would have been abridged for the stage because they were too long for performance. The variant early texts of Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, and Hamlet are shown to reveal important insights into the different media for which Shakespeare designed his plays.
