Cambridge University Press The Shakespeare Company 15941642
Book SynopsisThis is the first complete history of the theatre company in which Shakespeare acted and which staged all his plays. Andrew Gurr provides a comprehensive illustrated history of the company's activities, explores its social role in its time and examines its repertoire of plays.Trade Review'Andrew Gurr's The Shakespeare Company, 1594–1642 fills an enormous gap … an important reference work, and a book necessary for every serious scholar of theatre history, Shakespeare and Shakespeare's milieu.' Around the Globe'... comprehensive ... Andrew Gurr has written a definitive and most appealing work, which frequently glitters with the author's own love of theater and its members.' Renaissance Quarterly'An eminent scholar, Gurr brings both a refined (and colossal) body of research and sage insight into this magnificent achievement. He offers a richly detailed, pleasantly readable case study ... Essential.' P. D. Nelson, Choice'Gurr doesn't explicitly say that the 'company versions' are better than that habitual overwriter Shakespeare's maximal versions. But the stakes in the argument are high – our vision of what we value most in Shakespeare, why we value it, and the notion of value itself. And so, in addition to being grateful to Gurr for the wealth of historical detail of Shakespeare's company, we are in debt to him for provoking anew this important argument.' The Wilson QuarterlyTable of ContentsPreface; 1. The plan of 1594; 2. The company's work; 3. 'Will money buy 'em?': company finances; 4. 'Workes are playes': the public repertory; 5.

Cambridge University Press Journalism and the Novel
Book SynopsisLiterary journalism is a rich field of study that has played an important role in the creation of the English and American literary canons. In this original study, Underwood focuses on the notable journalists-turned-novelists found at the margins of fact and fiction.Trade Review"Underwood has written a carefully researched volume on practitioners of both journalism and novel writing from 1700 to almost the present day....Highly Recommended." - M.W. Cox, University of Pittsburgh, Choice"[A] thorough and meticulous work" American Journalism, Madeleine Blais, University of Massachusetts at Amherst"...students and general readers will find much to admire about the book...Underwood’s anecdotal flair, coupled with his conversational prose style, is congenial and informative." -Jack Vespa, nbol-19.orgTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Cambridge University Press The Martin Marprelate Tracts
Book SynopsisScandalously witty, racy, and irreverent, the Martin Marprelate tracts are the most famous satires of the English Renaissance. This text was the first fully annotated and modernized edition of the tracts, with a full introduction which details their background, sources, production, authorship, and seventeenth-century afterlife.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Joseph Black has performed a great service for students of English religion, history, and literature in compiling such an authoritative presentation of the Marprelate pamphlets. … Those coming to Black's edition will also have the pleasure of enjoying in their full display of wit some of the liveliest and most humorous pieces of writing of the early modern period.' ReformationReview of the hardback: '… splendid new edition - the first since William Pierce's of 1911 … The sheer vituperativeness, polemical energy, and bold wit, with which he [the author] voiced these criticisms were unprecedented.' English StudiesReview of the hardback: 'This splendid new edition of the Marprelate tracts will go a long way in making accessible a fascinating and provocative period of ecclesiastical history. Black's sensitive and authoritative editing should allow the voice of Martin Marprelate to be heard loud and clear by a new generation of readers.' Andrew V. Cinnamond, Wandsworth Parish, London'This edition deserves to grace the shelves of any serious student of the English Reformation, however one understands that controversial term. Beyond that, though, as Black's notes make clear, it represents an important contribution to our understanding of Elizabethan literary history: for it reinstates the political pamphlet literature of late sixteenth-century England in an honourable tradition that ultimately leads down via Swift and Hazlitt to Orwell. As such, Black's edition is now 'base camp', as it were, both for historians and literary scholars of the Tracts.' Cahiers Élisabéthains'Joseph Black is to be congratulated for the meticulous care with which he has prepared it, and Cambridge University Press for having the imagination to make these ephemeral but vital works available in a handsome volume.' EnglishTable of ContentsIntroduction; Textual introduction; The Martin Marprelate Tracts: 1. The Epistle; 2. The Epitome; 3. Certain Mineral and Metaphysical Schoolpoints; 4. Hay any Work For Cooper; 5. Theses Martinianae (by 'Martin Junior'); 6. The Just Censure and Reproof of Martin Junior (by'Martin Senior'); 7. The Protestation of Martin Marprelate.
