Erne uses evidence from Shakespeare's publishers and the printed works to show that in the final years of the sixteenth century and the early part of the seventeenth century, 'Shakespeare' became a name from which money could be made, a book trade commodity in which publishers had significant investments and an author who was bought, read, excerpted and collected on a surprising scale. Erne argues that Shakespeare, far from indifferent to his popularity in print, was an interested and complicit witness to his rise as a print-published author. Thanks to the book trade, Shakespeare's authorial ambition started to become bibliographic reality during his lifetime. 517 3 $aShakespeare & the Book Trade 606 $aBook industries and trade$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aBook industries and trade$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLiterature publishing$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLiterature publishing$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 615 0$aBook industries and trade$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature publishing$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature publishing$xHistory 676 $a822.3/3 700 $aErne$b Lukas$0740839 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973148603321 996 $aShakespeare and the Book Trade$94427998 997 $aUNINA
