Making Shakespeare is a lively introduction to the major issues of
the stage and print history, whilst also raising questions about
what a Shakespeare play actually is. Tiffany Stern reveals how
London, the theatre, the actors and the way in which the plays were
written and printed all affect the 'Shakespeare' that we now read.
Concentrating on the instability and fluidity of Shakespeare's
texts, her book discusses what happened to a manuscript between its
first composition, its performance on stage and its printing, and
identifies traces of the production system in the plays we read.
She argues that the versions of Shakespeare that have come down to
us have inevitably been formed by the contexts from which they
emerged; being shaped by, for example, the way actors received and
responded to their lines, the props and music used in the theatre,
or the continual revision of plays by the playhouses and printers.
Allowing a fuller understanding of the texts we read and perform,
Making Shakespeare is the perfect introduction to issues of stage
and page. A refreshingly clear, accessible read, this book will
allow even those with no expert knowledge to begin to contextualize
Shakespeare's plays for themselves, in ways both old and new.
