Memory and Affect in Shakespeare's England
Product details
'An expansive and consistently illuminating collection, Memory and Affect in Shakespeare's England argues so convincingly for integrating the areas of memory and affect studies that early modernists will wonder that we ever considered them separately. In essays on a broad range of literary subjects-from complaint poetry and sonnets to grisly domestic tragedy, jestbooks, and the Shakespearean history play-Baldo and Karreman's important volume demonstrates how affect and memory co-structure one another in and through a provocatively diverse array of abstract and material forms, such as geography, temporality, verse rhythm, texts, and props.' Alice Dailey, Villanova University
'From memory arts to stagecraft via politics and the modalities of space and time, this book's organization demonstrates the varied possibilities of approaching memory and affect together. The essays included here offer smart, persuasive readings of Shakespearean drama and poetry as well as of non-canonical texts. A sustained exploration of memory and affect in early modern England is long overdue, and this collection thus provides an important and welcome intervention in early modern literary studies.' Kristine Johanson, University of Amsterdam
