It analyses the material and rhetorical forms through which drama was thought to 'imprint' early modern audiences and readers with ideas, morals and memories, and--looking to our own cultural moment--shows how Shakespeare has been historically constructed as an 'impressive' dramatist. Through material readings of four plays--Coriolanus, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Measure for Measure and The Winter's Tale--Harry Newman argues that Shakespeare deploys the imprint as a self-reflexive trope in order to advertise the value of his plays to audiences and readers, and that in turn the language of impression has shaped, and continues to shape, Shakespeare's critical afterlife. The book pushes the boundaries of what we understand by 'print culture', and challenges assumptions about the emergence of concepts now central to Shakespeare's perceived canonical value, such as penetrating characterisation, poetic transformation, and literary fatherhood"-- aENH10aShakespeare, William,d1564-1616xKnowledgexPrinting.93858710aShakespeare, William,d1564-1616xKnowledgexMaterial culture.938588 0aPrinting in literature.938589 0aMaterial culture in literature.938590 0aEnglish literature.943016 0aEnglish.938591 aAyesha Abed LibrarycGeneral Stacks 2ddccBK 00102ddc4070aBRACULbBRACULcGENd2019-12-17e58g7455.00l1m8o822.33 NEWp3010036823r2023-01-30s2022-09-03t1v7455.00w2019-12-17yBK
