Cambridge University Press Men in Womens Clothing Antitheatricality and
Book SynopsisIn 1597 anti-theatricalist Stephen Gosson made the curious remark that theatre 'effeminized' the mind. Four years later Phillip Stubbes claimed that male actors who wore women's clothing could literally 'adulterate' male gender and fifty years after this in a tract which may have hastened the closing of the theatres, William Prynne described a man whom women's clothing had literally caused to 'degenerate' into a women. How can we account for such fears of effeminization and what did Renaissance playwrights do with such a legacy? Laura Levine examines the ways in which Shakespeare, Marlowe and Jonson addressed a generation's anxieties about gender and the stage and identifies the way the same 'magical thinking' informed documents we much more readily associate with extreme forms of cultural paranoia: documents dedicated to the extermination of witches.Trade Review'… cleverly brings together three areas of Renaissance anxiety: the longing for truth, a suspicious attitude to representation, and an identification of masculinity as performance.'

Cambridge University Press Shakespeare Time and the Victorians A Pictorial Exploration
Book SynopsisTime and the visual sense were two essential preoccupations of the Victorians, and both were central to their presentations of Shakespeare's plays. In this extensive new study, Stuart Sillars examines multiple facets of this complex relationship. The desire for authenticity in production, in the work of Charles Kean and his followers, leads to elaborate sets that define and direct the performances' movement through time. Visual artists of all kinds fracture and extend the plays' movements, the Pre-Raphaelites through new techniques and approaches, illustrators through new forms of engraving and printing, and photographers through the emerging forms of the medium. The book also considers the multiple forms in which performances were recorded and re-created visually, and absorbed into the memories of their viewers. With many previously unpublished images, it draws together multiple fields to offer a new perspective on one of the most productive and various periods of Shakespeare activityTrade Review'… an exhilarating gallery of Shakespearean images as these featured on the nineteenth century stage, as well as on canvas and print. This richly illustrated book offers new insights into Victorian cultural history, as Shakespeare the chronicler of the past morphs into Shakespeare the timeless moralist … Specialists in art and theatre history will revel in the range and scholarship of this engaging analysis.' Catherine Belsey, Swansea University'Multidisciplinary in scope and imaginatively illustrated, Stuart Sillars's wonderfully well-informed study casts a bright light on Victorian philosophy and on the period's artistic and theatrical aesthetics.' Stanley Wells, The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust'If you want to know anything about Shakespeare and the visual arts then Stuart Sillars is your man.' Around the Globe'The author provides a lavish selection of colour plates of Victorian Shakespeare pairings … Sillars' treatment of Victorian Shakespeare is visually compelling and intellectually rewarding.' Choice'Sillars' focus remains predominantly aesthetic, and he is unquestionably a master of the form … Few scholars can match Sillars for his close readings of how images disclose themselves to viewers … Every reader stands to profit from the author's exemplary understanding of how images work in themselves and how they work upon those who look at them.' Shakespeare Quarterly'It will remain an outstanding contribution to this field for many years to come … an outstanding book on one significant element within Victorian culture.' J. B.
