Omschrijving
'This important book recovers the forgotten history of a genre that was central to the social and political life of early modern England: the libel, Joseph Mansky shows, circulated through provinces, city streets, alehouses, and playhouses as a public-making document, binding together strangers even as it set them at odds with each other. Mansky's book is as essential to scholars of early modern literature as it is to anyone interested in the conflicts that shape our public spheres today.' Matthew Hunter, Texas Tech University

'Libels and Theater in Shakespeare's England convincingly argues that libel was the axis on which the early modern public sphere spun. Joseph Mansky offers an absorbing history of libel, probes the gaps between legal codes and actual practice, and nests compelling readings of famous, infamous, obscure, and lost plays within vividly recreated flashpoints of English politics from 1590 to 1620. Impressively researched and studded with new discoveries, Libels and Theater is an elegantly written, deeply engaging book that represents the best of our discipline's fusion of literary studies, history, and law.'
