Selling Shakespeare tells a story of Shakespeare's life and career
in print, a story centered on the people who created, bought, and
sold books in the early modern period. The interests and
investments of publishers and booksellers have defined our ideas of
what is 'Shakespearean', and attending to their interests
demonstrates how one version of Shakespearean authorship surpassed
the rest. In this book, Adam G. Hooks identifies and examines four
pivotal episodes in Shakespeare's life in print: the debut of his
narrative poems, the appearance of a series of best-selling plays,
the publication of collected editions of his works, and the
cataloguing of those works. Hooks also offers a new kind of
biographical investigation and historicist criticism, one based not
on external life documents, nor on the texts of Shakespeare's
works, but on the books that were printed, published, sold,
circulated, collected, and catalogued under his name.
