This wide-ranging study traces the forces that drove the production
and interpretation of visual images of Shakespeare's plays.
Covering a rich chronological terrain, from the beginning of the
eighteenth century to the midpoint of the nineteenth, Stuart
Sillars offers a multidisciplinary, nuanced approach to reading
Shakespeare in relation to image, history, text, book history,
print culture and performance. The volume begins by relating the
production imagery of Shakespeare's plays to other visual forms and
their social frames, before discussing the design and operation of
illustrated editions and the 'performance readings' they offer, and
analysing the practical and theoretical foundations of easel
paintings. Close readings of The Comedy of Errors, King Lear, the
Roman plays, The Merchant of Venice and Othello provide detailed
insight into how the plays have been represented visually, and are
accompanied by numerous illustrations and a beautiful colour plate
section.
