Impressive Shakespeare reassesses Shakespeare's relationship with
"print culture" in light of his plays' engagement with the language
and material culture of three interrelated "impressing
technologies": wax sealing, coining, and typographic printing. It
analyses the material and rhetorical forms through which drama was
thought to "imprint" early modern audiences and readers with ideas,
morals and memories, and-looking to our own cultural moment-shows
how Shakespeare has been historically constructed as an
"impressive" dramatist. Through material readings of four
plays-Coriolanus, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Measure for Measure
and The Winter's Tale-Harry Newman argues that Shakespeare deploys
the imprint as a self-reflexive trope in order to advertise the
value of his plays to audiences and readers, and that in turn the
language of impression has shaped, and continues to shape,
Shakespeare's critical afterlife. The book pushes the boundaries of
what we understand by "print culture", and challenges assumptions
about the emergence of concepts now central to Shakespeare's
perceived canonical value, such as penetrating characterisation,
poetic transformation, and literary fatherhood. Harry Newman's
suggestive analysis of techniques and tropes of sealing, coining
and printing produces a revelatory account of Shakespearean
creative poetics. It's sustainedly startling in its rereading of
familiar lines - but the chapter I found most original is on
Measure for Measure: Newman is the first critic to attempt to
interpret the play's authorial status as part of its own thematic
and linguistic interrogation of illegitimacy and counterfeiting. He
makes authorship matter in a literary and creative, rather than a
quantitative and statistical, sense. Impressive Shakespeare is a
brilliant scholarly debut. - Emma Smith Editor, Shakespeare Survey

Harry Newman is a retired cantor with thirty-four years of
spiritual leadership in two Southern California congregations. In
1990 he was cited an Exemplary Teacher by the Orange County Bureau
of Jewish Education. Cantor Newman's many years of teaching both
children and adults have helped develop his unusual awareness of
life. Cantor Newman's genuine love of people, always reflected in
his classes, had a major impact on many of the lives he touched
during his years on the pulpit. His vocal interpretations of the
liturgy, gave his Sabbath and holiday services a special
spirituality.

Renee Beach Halliburton, senior editor at Prentiss Hall School
Division; formerly with Simon and Shuster, writes: There is an easy
flow to your narrative, that is wonderful. The character
development is good. We certainly see your young protagonist grow.
I do like the way you tell a story - it's like listening to a good
storyteller. It's even easy to follow, and you have a nice way with
dialogue, I notice the emphasis on certain values - self growth,
caring, friendship - and of course there is a love story. Nice job.
