Some writers, including playwrights in the early modern period, did not even view print copyright as the most important of their authorial rights. A rich vein of recent scholarship has examined the interaction between royal monopolies, which have been identified with later notions of intrinsic authorial ownership, and the internal copy registration practices of the English book trades. Yet this dialogue was but one part of a still more complicated conversation in early modern England, James J. Marino argues; other customs and other sets of professional demands were at least as important, most strikingly in the exercise of the performance rights of plays. In Owning William Shakespeare James Marino explores the actors' system of intellectual property as something fundamentally different from the property regimes exercised by the London printers or the royal monopolists. Focusing on Hamlet, The Taming of the Shrew, King Lear, and other works, he demonstrates how Shakespeare's acting company asserted ownership of its plays through intense rewriting combined with progressively insistent attribution to Shakespeare. The familiar versions of these plays were created through ongoing revision in the theater, a process that did not necessarily begin with Shakespeare's original manuscript or end when he died. An ascription by the company of any play to "Shakespeare" did not imply that it was following a fixed, authorial text; rather, Marino writes, it indicates an attempt to maintain exclusive control over a set of open-ended, theatrically revised scripts. Combining theater history, textual studies, and literary theory, Owning William Shakespeare rethinks both the way Shakespeare's plays were created and the way they came to be known as his. It overturns a century of scholarship aimed at re-creating the playwright's lost manuscripts, focusing instead on the way the plays continued to live and grow onstage. 410 0$aMaterial texts. 606 $aIntellectual property$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aIntellectual property$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aTransmission of texts$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aTransmission of texts$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aRepertory theater$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aRepertory theater$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aTheatrical companies$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aTheatrical companies$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIntellectual property$xHistory 615 0$aIntellectual property$xHistory 615 0$aTransmission of texts$xHistory 615 0$aTransmission of texts$xHistory 615 0$aRepertory theater$xHistory 615 0$aRepertory theater$xHistory 615 0$aTheatrical companies$xHistory 615 0$aTheatrical companies$xHistory 676 $a792.95094209031 700 $aMarino$b James J.$01054140 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464104903321 996 $aOwning William Shakespeare$92486509 997 $aUNINA
