9780198848790 / Typographies of Performance in Early Modern England

by  Oxford University Press (August 5, 2020)  (Author)

Typographies of Performance in Early Modern England is the first book-length study of early modern English playbook typography. It tells a new history of drama from the period by considering the page designs of plays by Shakespeare and others printed between the end of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century. It argues that typography, broadly conceived, was used creatively by printers, publishers, playwrights, and other agents of the book trade to make the effects of theatricality–from the most basic (textually articulating a change in speaker) to the more complex (registering the kinesis of bodies on stage)–intelligible on the page.

The coalescence of these experiments into a uniquely dramatic typography that was constantly responsive to performance effects made it possible for ‘plays’ to be marketed, collected, and read in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as a print genre distinct from all other genres of imaginative writing. It has been said, ‘If a play is a book, it is not a play.’ Typographies of Performance in Early Modern England shows that ‘play’ and ‘book’ were, in fact, mutually constitutive: it was the very bookishness of plays printed in early modern England that allowed them to be recognized by their earliest readers as plays in the first place.
