Description
Editing Archipelagic Shakespeare offers a groundbreaking examination of Shakespearean editing practices within an archipelagic context. Rather than treating Shakespeare as a unified literary figure, the authors explore how editorial decisions have fragmented and reconstructed his works across different regions, time periods, and cultural traditions.
The book investigates the editorial choices that have shaped Shakespeare scholarship, considering how geographical, political, and linguistic differences influence textual interpretation and production. Rory Loughnane and Willy Maley demonstrate how editing Shakespeare becomes a process of negotiating multiple versions, competing authorities, and diverse readerships.
Published by Cambridge University Press, this volume contributes significantly to Shakespeare studies by challenging conventional editorial methodologies and revealing the complex networks through which Shakespeare’s texts have been transmitted, adapted, and reinterpreted across the archipelago.
