Product Description

Oxford Shakespeare Topics provide students and teachers with short books on important aspects of Shakespeare criticism and scholarship. Each book is written by an authority in its field, and combines accessible style with original discussion of its subject.

Shakespeare and Text is an indispensable and unique guide to its topic. It takes Shakespeare readers to the very foundation of his work, explaining how his plays first took shape in the theatre where writing was part of a larger collective enterprise. As the resulting manuscripts are virtually all lost, the account then turns to the early modern printing industry that produced the earliest surviving texts of Shakespeare's plays. It describes the roles of publisher and printer, the controls exerted through the Stationers' Company, and the technology of printing. A chapter is devoted to the book that gathered Shakespeare's plays together for the first time, the First Folio of 1623. Shakespeare and Text goes on to survey the major developments in textual studies over the past century. It builds on the recent upsurge of interest in textual theory, and deals with issues such as collaboration, the instability of the text, the relationship between theatre culture and print culture, and the book as a material object. Later chapters examine the current critical edition, explaining the procedures that transform early texts in to a very different cultural artefact, the edition in which we regularly encounter Shakespeare.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Vexed texts, January 29, 2012

    (REAL NAME)   
    For less committed students, it is sometimes tempting to skip parts of 'scholarly' Shakespeare editions. More often than not, the least appealing section of all is called something like 'An Account of the Text', where authorities like WW Greg expound on compositors, their idiosyncrasies and the copy they worked from. Textual accounts can seem dour when compared to the poetry and wit of the actual plays. So is this one any different?

    Ranging widely from play to play and from quartos to Folios, John Jowett gives us an insight into the workings of textual scholars. He shows, for example, how Charlton Hinman was so brilliantly able to reconstruct the chronology of the printing of the great 1623 First Folio in such detail. The falsifications of the so-called 'Pavier' quartos are also lucidly explained. With such clarity and ingenuity on display, textual scholarship seems glamorous, like detective work or forensic science, with its trails of evidence, painstaking scrutiny and... Read more

      5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent case against Oxfordianism, May 18, 1998
      By A Customer
      This review is from: Shakespeare, in Fact (Hardcover)
      Irvin Matus's Shakespeare, IN FACT

      Reviewed by Thomas A. Pendleton

      The Shakespeare Newsletter, Summer 1994

      The authorship controversy -- which nowadays is tantamount to saying the Oxfordian hypothesis -- is not often seriously investigated by Shakespeare scholars. There are a number of reasons why, with sheer cowardice and fear of being found out and losing tenure relatively low on the list. Almost all Shakespeareans, I expect, are aware that claims for any rival author are based on assertions and inferences about Shakespeare's biography, his inadequate education, the absence of his manuscripts, the plays' erudition, aristocratic bias, knowledge of Italian geography, and so on; assertions and inferences that are untenable and have been shown to be untenable. Most libraries can supply the Shakespearean with some older, but very useful, treatments of the subject, notably Frank W. Wadsworth's graceful and cogent survey, The Poacher from Stratford, and Milward Martin's energetically... Read more

      This review is from: Shakespeare, In Fact (Paperback)
      The review posted below by David Kathman succinctly summarizes the content of this scholarly polemic against the absurdities of the literary "Oxford Movement". I just wish to note that the 1999 paperback edition is a straight reprint of the 1994 hardbound. Therefore, while it addresses the orthodox Looney-Ogburn-Whalen school of anti-Stratfordianism, there is nothing about more recent mutations. Readers who want to keep up to date on the controversy should take a look at Professor Kathman's Shakespeare Authorship Web site, which discusses virtually all of the Oxfordian arguments and links to such interesting material as a complete edition of the Earl of Oxford's extant letters, which may prove disillusioning to those who cherish an image of the earl as a polymathic genius.

      Even though it does not swat the very latest fantasies of Authorship Cultism, "Shakespeare, In Fact" is both entertaining and useful. Reading it will leave one better informed about not... Read more

      Nice try, Irv, April 23, 2003

      Reviewer: A reader

      You know, the Stratfordians change punctuation of 400-year-old documents in order to further their cause. This author can't be trusted. It's a book for those who want their myths propped up, not demolished. Nice going, Mr. Matus.

      Product Description

      A Midsummer Night's Dream is perhaps Shakespeare's most popular play, particularly as a first introduction to Shakespeare for children--filled as it is with a marvelous mixture of aristocrats, workers, and fairies. For this edition, Peter Holland's introduction looks at dreams and dreamers, tracing the materials out of which Shakespeare constructs his world of night and shadows.

        4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for studying the text!, April 21, 2008
        This review is from: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Oxford Shakespeare) (Paperback)
        If you are studying the text for a paper or getting it up on it's feet for a play, I highly recommend this publisher. Lines notes and Folio version notes, the only text like it on the market.

        My only complaint is that it makes it difficult to use in rehearsals and on stage. I use the Penguin for working on my feet because they give you all notes at the end.

        But for all the prep work needed to really flush out a character, you can't beat this copy.

        This review is from: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Oxford Shakespeare) (Paperback)
        It's neither the best nor worst of Shakespeare's many comedies, but "A Midsummer Night's Dream" definitely holds one honor -- it's the most fantastical of his works. This airy little comedy is filled with fairies, spells, love potions and romantic mixups, with only the bland human lovers making things a little confusing (who's in love with whom again?).

        As Athens prepares for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta, the fusty Egeus is demanding that his daughter Hermia marry the man he's chosen for her, Demetrius. Her only other options are death or nunhood.

        Since she's in love with a young man named Lysander (no, we never learn why her dad hates Lysander), Hermia refuses, and the two of them plot to escape Athens and marry elsewhere. But Helena, a girl who has been kicked to the curb by Demetrius, tips him off about their plans; he chases Hermia and Lysander into the woods, with Helena following him all the way. Are you confused yet?

        5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect fun, June 13, 2002
        This review is from: A Midsummer Night's Dream (Oxford Shakespeare) (Paperback)
        This play by Shakespeare has had a tremendous influence. First it was trasnformed into an opera by Purcell under the title of The Fairy Queen. Second it was widely known in Germany at the time of Goethe, but under the title of The Walpurgis Night. Goethe himself alludes to it in Faust and composes his Walpurgis Night at the end of the Faust as the prolongation of the end of Shakespeare's play. What is interesting in this play is the fact that the world of spirits, the night in the forest are used as elements to create a marvellous and light comedy. No witchcraft in all this. An entertaining though slightly grotesque tale. The Queen and King of the fairies use their powers to make fun of simple men, even providing Bottoms with the head of an ass (an old practice from the Middle Ages when the bishop of the pope were shown as being asses in the Masses of Fools or of Asses, some � carnival � rites authorised by the Church). But what is most important in this play is the fact that the... Read more
