Reading Shakespeare's Poems in Early Modern England makes a compelling contribution both to Shakespeare studies and the history of the book. Examining gendered readerships and the use of erotic works, reading practices and manuscript culture, textual forms and transmission, literary taste and the canonization of Shakespeare, this book argues that historicist criticism can no longer ignore histories of reading. |
