具体描述

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.

读后感

恭恭敬敬地啃完了《莎士比亚与书》，这是我读过的第二部书籍史著作。卡斯顿的原文没有拜读过，但从郝老师的译笔来看，原文也一定是明快优雅、一丝不苟的风格。信息量极其丰富，人名众多（大多是出版商、印刷商和莎学学者）。其中还有几个饶有趣味的词，早有耳闻但不知如何中译...
