It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched. Rethinking Theatrical Documents brings together fifteen major scholars to analyse and theorise the documents, lost and found, that produced a play in Shakespeare’s England. Showing how the playhouse frantically generated paratexts, it explores a rich variety of entangled documents, some known and some unknown: from before the play (drafts, casting lists, actors’ parts); during the play (prologues, epilogues, title-boards); and after the play (playbooks, commonplace snippets, ballads) – though ‘before’, ‘during’ and ‘after’ intertwine in fascinating ways. By using collective intervention to rethink both theatre history and book history, it provides new ways of understanding plays critically, interpretatively, editorially, practically and textually. 2022-10-14T14:54:22Z 2022-10-14T14:54:22Z 2019 book ONIX_20221014_9781350051362_151 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58820 eng application/pdf application/epub+zip Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781350051362.pdf 9781350051355.epub Bloomsbury Academic The Arden Shakespeare 10.5040/9781350051379 10.5040/9781350051379 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b Knowledge Unlatched Knowledge Unlatched (KU) The Arden Shakespeare 304 London open access
