This is the first book to demonstrate how mnemotechnic cultural commonplaces can be used to account for the look, style, and authorized content of some of the most influential books produced in early modern Britain. In his hybrid role as stationer, publisher, entrepreneur, and author, John Day, master printer of England’s Reformation, produced the premier navigation handbook, state-approved catechism and metrical psalms, Book of Martyrs, England’s first printed emblem book, and Queen Elizabeth’s Prayer Book. By virtue of finely honed book trade skills, dogged commitment to evangelical nation-building, and astute business acumen (including going after those who infringed his privileges), Day mobilized the typographical imaginary to establish what amounts to—and still remains—a potent and viable Protestant Memory Art.

Seeing Shakespeare’s Style offers new ways for readers to perceive Shakespeare and, by extension, literary texts generally. Organized as a series of studies of Shakespeare’s plays and poems, poetry, and prose, it looks at the inner functioning of language and form in works from all phases of this writer’s career. Because the very concept of literary style has dropped out of so many of our conversations about writing, we need new ways to understand how words, phrases, speeches, and genres in literature work. Responding to this need, this book shows how visual representations of writing can lead to a deeper understanding of language’s textures and effects. Starting with chapters that a beginning reader of Shakespeare can benefit from, its second half puts these tools to use in more in-depth examinations of Shakespeare’s language and style. Although focused on Shakespeare’s works, and the works of his contemporaries, this book provides tools for all readers of literature by defining style as material, graphic, and shaped by the various media in which all writers work.

This volume adds a new dimension to authorship studies by linking the editorial tradition to the transformative reception of early modern authors and their works across time. Aleida Auld argues that the editorial tradition provides privileged access to the reception of early modern literature, informing our understanding of certain reconfigurations and sometimes helping to produce them between their time and our own. At stake are reconfigurations of oeuvre and authorship, the relationship between the author and work, the relationship between authors, and the author’s own role in establishing an editorial tradition. Ultimately, this study recognizes that the editorial tradition is a stabilizing force while asserting that it may also be a source of strange and provocative reconceptions of early modern authors and their works in the present day. Scholars and students of early modern literature will benefit from this approach to editing as a form of reception that encompasses all the editorial decisions that are necessary to ‘put forth’ a text.

This study situates Tilney’s intelligence manual in the emerging genre that developed around intelligence gathering in the late sixteenth century and attempts to explain how he reconciled the tension between his admiration for the aims of humanist history and his political and religious beliefs, matters directly relevant to understanding the sensibilities he brought to his duties and censor of plays and as a producer of plays for the court.The study focuses on those subjects by placing them in the broader context of a European culture that came increasingly to believe that the effective analysis and deployment of historical evidence would establish a reliable version of the past that could be used to resolve contemporary problems. But the new humanist methods of historical analysis and argument exacerbated rather than resolved disputes. The techniques developed to analyse evidence and argue causality themselves were used to challenge the intellectual, political, and religious establishments they were originally devised to strengthen. As both Protestant and Catholic reformers throughout Europe became more assertive in using historical arguments to defend their confessional beliefs and to apply political pressure on governments to act on their behalf, politics and religion became inseparably intertwined. The polarization that developed from the impasse in debate eventually took the form of political and military alliances, plunging Northern Europe into a period of almost unceasing religious, political, and military conflict. Tilney’s manual reflects the tension produced by that conflict. He attempted to defend the interests of England, Elizabeth I, and the Reformed Religion that she patronized in historical arguments in which politics, religion, and military action reinforced one another. Tilney’s manual provides valuable insights into his understanding of some of the key political and religious issues of the period. Since he was a client of his more famous relative, Lord Admiral Charles Howard, the manual also provides insights into the politico-religious ideas acceptable within the network of one of Elizabeth I’s more prominent privy councillors. While it does not provide a blueprint for the conduct of Tilney’s duties as censor, the manual does provide insights into the humanist outlook he brought to his duties as licenser of plays for public performance and as producer of plays for the court. It also suggests how these ideas were disseminated and became part of the social fabric of English culture.
