    <![CDATA[Why was England the only country in Europe to maintain an all-male public theatre in the Renaissance? Stephen Orgel uses this question as the starting point of a fresh and stimulating exploration of the representation of gender in Elizabethan drama and society. Why were boys used to play female roles in drama, and how did such cross-dressing impact on the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries? What was the place of women in the Renaissance theatre, either on the stage or in the audience? And what did society make of those women who significantly and successfully violated accepted gender boundaries? At once provocative and witty, lucid and stylish, Impersonations will reshape our understanding of the Renaissance theatre, and make us rethink our own inadequate categories of gender, power and sexuality.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>In this lavishly illustrated book, one of the most important and influential scholars of  the Renaissance stage brings together essays that have changed the way we think about the age of Shakespeare. His subjects are varied and interconnected: the theater as social phenomenon, the development of the stage as an architectural presence and a cultural institution, the changing use of setting and costume, the changing status of the acting profession, the complex relation of theater to the political life of the age. Most of all, The Authentic Shakespeare is about how the modern constructs the past, how the texts that were performed on the Elizabethan stage became the books and editions that are, for our time, Renaissance drama. <br/> Many essays in The Authentic Shakespeare have become classics. Collected here for the first time, they essential reading for students of the Renaissance stage and the history of the book.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;Early modern theater was a diverse and richly textured world of performances, both scripted and improvised. Our evidence about it, however, depends almost entirely on texts: a small number of descriptions, a very few manuscripts, and a substantial number of published plays. In this collection, a group of innovative and original theater historians considers both the process and the implications of the transformation of staged drama into reading texts--a complex process, not at all direct or unmediated, with broad implications for the developing concept of drama, the changing cultural and commercial status of theater, and the history of the book.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;In this beautifully illustrated book, one of the foremost Shakespeareans of our time explores the ways in which Shakespeare has been imagined from his time to ours.  In a penetrating series of interpretations, Stephen Orgel explores the ironies and paradoxes that have characterized the reconstruction of Shakespeare's texts, his image, the staging and illustration of his plays over the past four centuries, as he is perennially reinvented for new cultural ends.  Drawing on performance history, textual history, and the visual arts (including a fascinating chapter on portraiture), <em>Imagining Shakespeare</em> displays throughout the cultural versatility, elegance, lucidity, and wit which have become the hallmarks of Orgel's style.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Shakespeare has never been more ubiquitous, not only on the stage and in academic writing, but in film, video and the populuar press. On television, he advertises everything from cars to fast food; his imagined love life was declared the best movie of 1998; his birthplace, the tiny Warwickshire village of Stratford-Upon-Avon, has been transformed into a theme park of staggering commercialism, and the New globe, in its second season, is already a far bigger business than the old Globe could have ever hoped to be. If popular culture cannot do without Shakespeare, continually reinventing him and reimaging his drama and his life, neither can the critical and scholarly world, for which Shakespeare has, for more than two centuries, served as the central text for analysis and explication, the foundation of the western literary cannon, and the measure of literary excellence. <br/>The canonical Shakespeare is a product of publication, commentary, editorial intervention, elucidation, and criticism. The essays  collected in these volumes reveal is fully as multifarious as the Shakespeare of theme parks, movies and television, and indeed, is part of the continuing reinvention of Shakespeare. The essays are drawn for the most part from work done in the past three decades, though a few essential, enabling essays from an earlier period have been included; and they not only chart the directions taken by Shakespeare studies in the recent past, but they serve to indicate the enormous and continuing vitality of the enterprise, and the extent to which Shakespeare has become a metonym for literary and artistic endeavor generally.]]>
