Typographies of Performance in Early Modern England is the first book-length study of early modern English playbook typography. It tells a new history of drama from the period by considering the page designs of plays by Shakespeare and others printed between the end of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century. It argues that typography, broadly conceived, was used creatively by printers, publishers, playwrights, and otheragents of the book trade to make the effects of theatricality—from the most basic (textually articulating a change in speaker) to the more complex (registering the kinesis of bodies on stage)—intelligible on the page.The coalescence of these experiments into a uniquely dramatic typography that was constantly responsive to performance effects made it possible for ''plays'' to be marketed, collected, and read in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as a print genre distinct from all other genres of imaginative writing. It has been said, ''If a play is a book, it is not a play.'' Typographies of Performance in Early Modern England shows that ''play'' and ''book'' were, in fact, mutually constitutive: itwas the very bookishness of plays printed in early modern England that allowed them to be recognized by their earliest readers as plays in the first place.

Shakespeare / Text sets new agendas for the study and use of the Shakespearean text. Written by 20 leading experts on textual matters, each chapter challenges a single entrenched binary – such as book/theatre, source/adaptation, text/paratext, canon/apocrypha, sense/nonsense, extant/ephemeral, material/digital and original/copy – that has come to both define and limit the way we read, analyze, teach, perform and edit Shakespeare today.Drawing on methods from book history, bibliography, editorial theory, library science, the digital humanities, theatre studies and literary criticism, the collection as a whole proposes that our understanding of Shakespeare – and early modern drama more broadly – changes radically when 'either/or' approaches to the Shakespearean text are reconfigured. The chapters in Shakespeare / Text make strong cases for challenging received wisdom and offer new, portable methods of treating 'the text', in its myriad instantiations, that will be useful to scholars, editors, theatre practitioners, teachers and librarians.

Histories of the Shakespearean text have tended to focus on success stories so as to craft narratives of achievement, completion, discovery and restoration from an admittedly messy, incomplete textual past. Investigating how textual phenomena around and adjacent to Shakespeare come to be named failures, this book shows that these so-called failures offer new frameworks for recuperating, reimagining and treating them as sites of new knowledge about textual making, history and historiography. Shakespeare and Textual Failure collects stories of textual failure related to the Shakespearean text and other early modern texts from the sixteenth century through the present. The essays take up diverse instances of textual failure, both granular (e.g., misprints and typos) and systemic (e.g., institutional biases). The eighteen contributed chapters together expand our understanding of how cases of actual and supposed failure — failure of textual transmission, of text technologies, of interpretation, of editorial decision-making, of preservation, of remediation, of funding, of human health, of the environment, of performance, of institutions — have shaped the textual record around Shakespeare and other early modern texts as well as the range of possible approaches to them. They show that revisiting textual phenomena labeled as ‘failures’ either in their own moment or subsequently can generate new methods of assessing the textual past and result in more nuanced and inclusive — as well as less teleological, or triumphalist — material, cultural and political histories of early modern texts.
