Shakespeare and Text is built on the research and experience of a
leading expert on Shakespeare editing and textual studies. The
first edition has proved its value as an indispensable and unique
guide to its topic. It takes Shakespeare readers to the very
foundation of his work, explaining how his plays first took shape
in the theatre where writing was part of a larger collective
enterprise. The account examines the early modern printing industry
that produced the earliest surviving texts of Shakespeare's plays.
It describes the roles of publisher and printer, the controls
exerted through the Stationers' Company, and the technology of
printing. A chapter is devoted to the book that gathered
Shakespeare's plays together for the first time, the First Folio of
1623. Shakespeare and Text goes on to survey the major developments
in textual studies over the past century. It builds on the recent
upsurge of interest in textual theory, and deals with issues such
as collaboration, the instability of the text, the relationship
between theatre culture and print culture, and the book as a
material object. Later chapters examine the current critical
edition, explaining the procedures that transform early texts in to
a very different cultural artefact, the edition in which we
regularly encounter Shakespeare. The new revised edition, which
builds on Jowett's research for the New Oxford Shakespeare, engages
with scholarship of the past decade, work that has transformed our
understanding of textual versions, has opened up the taxonomy of
Shakespeare's texts, and has significantly extended the picture of
Shakespeare as a co-author. A new chapter describes digital text,
digital editing, and their interface with the traditional media.
