Download or read book Shakespeare and Manuscript Drama written by James Purkis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Shakespeare write his plays and how were they revised during their passage to the stage? James Purkis answers these questions through a fresh examination of often overlooked evidence provided by manuscripts used in early modern playhouses. Considering collaboration and theatre practice, this book explores manuscript plays by Anthony Munday, Thomas Middleton, and Thomas Heywood to establish new accounts of theatrical revision that challenge formerly dominant ideas in Shakespearean textual studies. The volume also reappraises Shakespeare's supposed part in the Sir Thomas More manuscript by analysing the palaeographic, orthographic, and stylistic arguments for Shakespeare's authorship of three of the document's pages. Offering a new account of manuscript writing that avoids conventional narrative forms, Purkis argues for a Shakespeare fully participant in a manuscript's collaborative process, demanding a reconsideration of his dramatic canon. The book will greatly interest researchers and advanced students of Shakespeare studies, textual history, authorship studies and theatre historians.

Book excerpt: Supplement to Collier's 'The works of Shakespeare : the text regulated by the recently discovered folio of 1632, containing early manuscript emendations : with a history of the stage, a life of the poet, and an introduction to each play,' also known as the Perkins folio. Collier claimed to have discovered extensive new manuscript emendations to Shakespeare's folio of 1632 in a 17th-century hand, which he published in 'Notes and emendations to the text of Shakespeare's plays.' After examining the manuscript, scholars at the British Museum proclaimed it to be a 19th-century forgery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Account of the Only Known Manuscript of Shakespeare's Plays: Comprising Some Important Variations and Corrections in the Merry Wives of Windsor, Obtained From a Playhouse Copy of That Play Recently Discovered Mr. Collier, in a recently published work, has justly observed that although "dramatic pieces in manuscript by Ben Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher, Massinger, Middleton, and others, are in existence, it is a remarkable fact that not a single written fragment of any of the plays of Shakespeare has come down to us, with the exception of a few passages in some unprinted poetical miscellanies." In Shakespeare's own handwriting, it is well known that nothing has been discovered, save his autograph; but Mr. Collier refers to early copies which may be supposed to contain either authorised variations from the commonly received text, or at least conjectural emendations rendered valuable by the time at which they were made.

Download or read book Dramatists and their Manuscripts in the Age of Shakespeare Jonson Middleton and Heywood written by Grace Ioppolo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents new evidence about the ways in which English Renaissance dramatists such as William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Thomas Heywood, John Fletcher and Thomas Middleton composed their plays and the degree to which they participated in the dissemination of their texts to theatrical audiences. Grace Ioppolo argues that the path of the transmission of the text was not linear, from author to censor to playhouse to audience - as has been universally argued by scholars - but circular. Extant dramatic manuscripts, theatre records and accounts, as well as authorial contracts, memoirs, receipts and other archival evidence, are used to prove that the text returned to the author at various stages, including during rehearsal and after performance. This monograph provides much new information and case studies, and is a fascinating contribution to the fields of Shakespeare studies, English Renaissance drama studies, manuscript studies, textual study and bibliography and theatre history.
