OXFORD SHAKESPEARE TOPICSGeneral Editors: Peter Holland and Stanley WellsOxford Shakespeare Topics provide students and teachers with short books on important aspects of Shakespeare criticism and scholarship. Each book is written by an authority in its field, and combines accessible style with original discussion of its subject.This book considers the impact and influence of Shakespeare on writing of the eighteenth century, and also how eighteenth-century Shakespeare scholarship influenced how we read Shakespeare today.The most influential English actor of the eighteenth century, David Garrick, could hail Shakespeare as ''the god of our idolatry'', yet perform an adaptation of King Lear with a happy ending, add a dying speech to Macbeth, and remove the puns from Romeo and Juliet. Garrick''s friend Samuel Johnson thought of Shakespeare as ''above all writers, at least above all modern writers, the poet of nature''. Voltaire thought he was a sublime genius without taste. The BluestockingElizabeth Montagu, meanwhile, could be found arguing with Johnson''s biographer James Boswell over whether Shakespeare or Milton was the greater poet.Shakespeare and the Eighteenth Century traces the course of a many-faceted metamorphosis. Drawing on fresh research as well as the most recent scholarship in the field, it argues that the story of Shakespeare in the eighteenth century has become a significant ''subplot'' in later scholarship, made up of great debates about how to read Shakespeare and how to rank him among the great English writers, how to perform his plays and how to edit the texts of those plays. This book surveys thecritical and creative responses of actors and audiences, literary critics and textual editors, painters and philosophes to Shakespeare''s works, while also suggesting how the Shakespeare of the theatre influenced the Shakespeare of the study, and how other, less straightforward interactions combined to bringabout this sea-change in English cultural life. It speaks of the crucial role of Shakespeare in eighteenth-century culture, and the importance of that culture''s absorption of Shakespeare for subsequent generations. This is a book about what the eighteenth century did to Shakespeare - and vice versa.

Nicholas Rowe was the first Poet Laureate of the Georgian era. A fascinating and important yet largely overlooked figure in eighteenth-century literature, he is the ‘lost Augustan’. His plays are important both for the way they address the political and social concerns of the day and for reflecting a period in which the theatre was in crisis. This edition sets out to demonstrate Rowe’s mastery of the early eighteenth century theatre, especially his providing significant roles for women, and examines the political and historical stances of his plays. It also highlights his work as a translator, which was both innovative and deeply in tune with current practices as exemplified by John Dryden and Alexander Pope. This is the first scholarly edition of all Rowe’s plays and poems and is accompanied by 15 musical scores and 31 black and white illustrations.
In this second volume the middle plays, The Biter, Ulysses, and The Royal Convert are presented, along with a newly written explanatory introduction by Michael Caines which precedes the full edited text. Appendices covering dedications, prologues and epilogues, performance history, the related music and textual apparatus are also included. A consolidated bibliography is included with the final volume for ease of reference.

This new selection of work (the first in over three decades) includes previously unpublished material and reveals the beguiling style and technical ingenuity of one of American poetry’s best-kept secrets.Suave, secretive and self-condemned to obscurity, Henri Coulette (1927–88) was a graduate of the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and winner the Lamont Poetry Prize. He stood out for his unfashionably brilliant command of poetry’s formal resources, and the idiosyncratic range of his concerns, which include film noir and espionage, not to mention life’s little ironies and larger tragedies. To read him, Zbigniew Herbert felt, was to be ‘in the presence of a major poet’, and one who had ‘seized upon thematic material of central importance to the modern world’.Henri Coulette (1927–88), who spent most of his life in Los Angeles, was regarded as a master craftsman and a quiet original by his teachers Robert Lowell and John Berryman, his peers Donald Justice, W.D. Snodgrass, Thom Gunn, and Philip Levine.
