Shakespeare and Quotation

"Shakespeare is the most frequently quoted English author of all time. Quotations appear everywhere, from the epigraphs of novels to the mottoes on coffee cups. But Shakespeare was also a frequent quoter himself - of classical and contemporary literature, of the Bible, of snatches of popular songs and proverbs. This volume brings together an international team of scholars to trace the rich history of quotation from Shakespeare's own lifetime to the present day. Exploring a wide range of media, including Romantic poetry, theatre criticism, novels by Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy and Ian McEwan, political oratory, propaganda, advertising, drama, film and digital technology, the chapters draw fresh connections between Shakespeare's own practices of creative reworking and the quotation of his work in new and traditional forms. Richly illustrated and featuring an Afterword by Margreta de Grazia, the collection tells a new story of the making and remaking of Shakespeare's plays and poems"-- Provided by publisher Cover......Page 1 Half-title......Page 3 Title page......Page 5 Copyright information......Page 6 Table of contents......Page 7 List of illustrations......Page 9 List of contributors......Page 10 Acknowledgements......Page 13 General Introduction......Page 15 Definitions: Quotation and Allusion......Page 19 Quotation in Shakespeare Scholarship......Page 24 Shakespeare as Quoter......Page 25 Shakespeare as Quoted......Page 29 Part I Shakespeare and Early Modern Quotation......Page 37 Introduction......Page 39 A Brief History of Quotation (1)......Page 40 Chapter 1 Shakespeare and the Early Modern Culture of Quotation......Page 45 Chapter 2 Shakespeare and Sententiae: The Use of Quotation in Lucrece......Page 60 Chapter 3 ‘The ears of profiting’......Page 74 Wisdom Cries Out in the Streets......Page 79 Falstaff and Henry IV......Page 83 Defining Quotation......Page 86 The Circle of Quotation in Hamlet......Page 88 Performances......Page 89 Reading......Page 90 Annotation......Page 91 Quotation and Character......Page 92 Quotation and the Literary......Page 95 Conclusion......Page 99 Part II Quoting Shakespeare, 1700–2000......Page 101 Introduction......Page 103 Authority......Page 104 Audience......Page 105 Chapter 5 ‘Shakespeare says ...’: The Anthology and the Eighteenth-Century Novel......Page 109 Samuel Richardson and Bysshe’s Art of English Poetry......Page 111 William Dodd and His Beauties of Shakespear......Page 114 Jane Austen and Vicesimus Knox’s Elegant Extracts......Page 117 Conclusions......Page 120 Chapter 6 Pope’s Shakespeare and Poetic Quotation in the Early Eighteenth Century......Page 122 Chapter 7 Shakespeare Quotation in the Romantic Age......Page 134 Quotation in the Theatre......Page 135 Quotation and Sociability......Page 139 Quotation as Interpretation......Page 146 Epigraphs......Page 148 Hem!
