{"product_id":"early-modern-playhouse-manuscripts-and-paul-werstine-9781107515468","title":"Early Modern Playhouse Manuscripts and the Editing of Shakespeare","description":"Early Modern Playhouse Manuscripts and the Editing of Shakespeare argues for editing Shakespeare's plays in a new way, without pretending to distinguish authorial from theatrical versions. Drawing on the work of the influential scholars A. W. Pollard and W. W. Greg, Werstine tackles the difficult issues surrounding 'foul papers' and 'promptbooks' to redefine these fundamental categories of current Shakespeare editing. In an extensive and detailed analysis, this book offers insight into the methods of theatrical personnel and a reconstruction of backstage practices in playhouses of Shakespeare's time. The book also includes a detailed analysis of nineteen manuscripts and three quartos marked up for performance - documents that together provide precious insight into how plays were put into production. Using these surviving manuscripts as a framework, Werstine goes on to explore editorial choices about what to give today's readers as 'Shakespeare'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Werstine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107515467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107515468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.91d","brand":"Paul Werstine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120813863167,"sku":"9781107515468","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be76e3f7-5f02-40ec-8e1a-7786b40a0f06.jpg?v=1687416420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-modern-playhouse-manuscripts-and-paul-werstine-9781107515468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
