A Concise Companion to Shakespeare and the Text. Ed. Andrew Murphy

Ironically, given its title, A Concise Companion to Shakespeare and the Text sets out to challenge both “Shakespeare” (the author) and “the Text” (the stable literary corpus organized in terms of the former) as useful categories through which to understand what these essays variously characterize as a multiplicity of texts and textual practices. The book aims to explore how this multiplicity has come to be encountered as “the Shakespearean text” by presenting material ranging from the plays’ (and poems’) earliest publication history and reception, through their development in eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century editions, and into contemporary debates about how best to present the texts in a postmodern age. The essays offer a good balance of general history, theoretical issues, and individual case studies, such that, as a whole, the collection will be a valuable resource for those new to book-history studies, while also advancing ongoing debates through a series of thoughtful reflections on the state of the field.
