Shakespearean Verse SpeakingText and Theatre PracticeAbigail RokisonUniversity of Cambridge

Through detailed historical and textual analysis, this book explores contemporary theatrical approaches to Shakespearean verse speaking and theatrical interaction with the edited text. Rokison argues the need for greater mutual understanding between actors and editors in the interpretation of lineation and punctuation in performance.

‘Abigail Rokison’s work is both fascinating and revelatory. It makes me hungry and impatient to return to Shakespeare armed with new insight and fresh inspiration. … As an actor what Rokison has to say is both helpful and inspiring. Everyone tackling Shakespeare in the rehearsal room needs to look at this. … There is so much received opinion spouted at actors in the name of Shakespeare. This work helps to puncture some of the more puffed up pomposities and give actors a fresh insight into their craft.’David Tennant

The Shakespearean Stage 1574–1642Fourth edition

Andrew GurrUniversity of Reading

For almost forty years The Shakespearean Stage has been considered the liveliest, most reliable and most entertaining overview of Shakespearean theatre in its own time. This thoroughly revised fourth edition incorporates fresh material on all the discoveries in recent years about the early modern stage, its plays and their staging.

‘Here is a concise, compact, well-organised guide to the premises, practices and finances of the actors; I cannot imagine a handier labour-saving device for the student who has been recommended to read far more than he has time for.’ Drama


Religion and Revelry in Shakespeare’s Festive WorldPhebe JensenUtah State University

Jensen examines the relationship between traditional festive pastimes – such as Midsummer pageants – and Shakespeare’s plays. In arguing that Shakespeare’s work reflects ongoing religious controversies concerning these pastimes, the book intervenes in recent controversies over religion’s role in Shakespeare’s theater, and the place of Catholicism in Shakespeare’s work and world.2009 228 x 152 mm 280pp 6 b/w illus. 978-0-521-50639-7 Hardback £50.00

The North Face of ShakespeareActivities for Teaching the PlaysJames Stredder

The North Face of Shakespeare argues that successful active work arises directly from the extraordinary dramatic power of Shakespeare’s writing – from its language and poetry and its use of narrative and character. The book invites teachers and drama practitioners to think of their classroom as a stage, with their students as both actors and audience.

‘A necessary book for all English and Drama teachers, a cornucopia of active methods of teaching the plays … James Stredder works through the basic elements of language, narrative (plot) and character, then offers excellent advice on workshops.’Times Educational Supplement
