The first book to systematically combine the two vibrant yet hitherto unconnected fields of memory and affect in Shakespeare's England.
Jonathan Baldo is Professor of English at the Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester and the author of Memory in Shakespeare's Histories: Stage of Forgetting in Early Modern England (2012). His essays on Shakespeare and the interplay of remembering and forgetting have appeared in numerous journals and essay collections. Isabel Karremann is Professor of Early Modern Literature at the University of Zurich and the author of The Drama of Memory in Shakespeare's History Plays (2015). She has published widely on Shakespeare, early modern drama and memory culture, and is the editor of the Shakespeare-Jahrbuch.
'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
