内容简介  · · · · · ·

莎士比亚喜剧起初是用于表演的手抄本,而后成为可以阅读的书,最终从一种大众娱乐变为英国的文学经典。本书对这一过程进行了权威性叙述。作 者卡斯顿现为美国耶鲁大学教授,是当代受到广泛阅读的文学学者之一。作者在本书中考察了我们邂逅莎士比亚的种种物质形式,以非同寻常的广度和优雅探讨了莎 士比亚早期出版者的动机和活动,以及存在于18世纪的一种古怪的分裂症:一方面,莎士比亚在戏台上被疯狂地修正,以迁就当时观众的趣味;另一方面,学者们 则一直致力于确立和恢复莎士比亚戏剧的“真实”文本,以及电子媒介向新一代读者展示莎士比亚的激动人心的可能性。

Shakespeare and the Book

Front Cover
 
 
Cambridge University Press, Sep 20, 2001 - Drama - 167 pages
This book is a authoritative account of Shakespeare's plays as they were transformed from scripts to be performed into books to be read, and eventually from popular entertainment into the centerpieces of the English literary canon. Kastan examines the motives and activities of Shakespeare's first publishers; the curious eighteenth-century schizophrenia that saw Shakespeare radically modified on stage at the very moment that scholars were working to establish and restore the "genuine" texts, and the exhilarating possibilities of electronic media for presenting Shakespeare now to new generations of readers. This is an important contribution to Shakespearean textual scholarship, to the history of the early English book trade, and to the theory of drama itself.
 
 
 David Scott Kastan is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. He is a specialist on Shakespeare and early modern culture. His most recent book is Shakespeare After Theory (1999) and his other publications include Shakespeare and the Shapes of Time (1981), Staging the Renaissance (1991, edited with Peter Stallybrass), Critical Essays on Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' (1995), The New History of Early English Drama (1997, edited with John Cox, and winner of the 1998 ATHE award for the best book on theatre history), and A Companion to Shakespeare (1999).
