Zusammenfassung
In 1623 a team of stationers published what has become the most famous volume in English literary history: William Shakespeare's First Folio. Who were these publishers and how might their stories be bound up with the book they created? Shakespeare's Syndicate offers a radical new account of the First Folio by focusing on the figures who made the volume. Moving between close scrutiny of the Folio publishers and an expansive account of their significance within the early modern book trade, Ben Higgins boldly challenges our ideas about how stationers shaped literary culture: how they constructed versions of 'literariness' and textual authority; what the interpretive life of the minor Shakespearean bookseller might be; and how the topography of publication could shape a book's fate. Drawing on a host of fresh primary evidence from a wide range of sources, including court records, manuscript letters, bookseller's bills, and the literature itself, Shakespeare's Syndicate revises our understanding of how the First Folio was made and what it has meant to scholars since
