While he was popular in his lifetime, the number of new editions and revivals of his plays declined over the following decades. Emma Depledge uses the methodologies of book and theatre history to provide a re-assessment of the reputation and dissemination of Shakespeare during the Interregnum and Restoration. She demonstrates the crucial role of the Exclusion Crisis (1678-1682), a political crisis over the royal succession, as a foundational moment in Shakespeare's canonisation. The period saw a sudden surge of theatrical alterations and a significantly increased rate of new editions and stage revivals. In the wake of the Exclusion Crisis, Shakespeare's plays were made available on a scale not witnessed since the early seventeenth century, thus reversing what might otherwise have been a permanent disappearance of his drama from canonical familiarity and firmly establishing Shakespeare's work in the national cultural imagination. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Shakespeare in the Civil Wwar and Interregnum years, 1642-1659 -- Shakespeare on the early Restoration stage and page, 1660-1677 -- Shakespeare and the Exclusion Crisis, 1678-82: the decision to alter his plays -- The politics of Shakespeare alterations of the Exclusion Crisis -- Selling Shakespeare on the Exclusion Crisis stage and page -- Shakespeare in the wake of the Exclusion Crisis, 1683-1700. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $v Adaptations $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Drama $x History $z England $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Authors and theater $z England $x History $y 17th century. 648 7 $a 1600-1699 $2 fast 941 $a 3 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074146.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191122022757.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502032105.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E8F2515A3F1711E98434DF6697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
