The Complete Works of James Shirley (1596-1666) (Editorial Project)

詹姆斯·雪莉全集（1596-1666）：一个现代化的，批判版10卷乐谱（OUP）和早期印刷和手稿见证的电子旧拼写版我们将编辑约50部作品的《詹姆斯·雪莉全集》（CWJS）。詹姆斯·雪莉是英国文艺复兴后期最重要的戏剧作家之一，创作于1620年代至1660年代，但他的全集（包括悲剧、喜剧、悲喜剧、假面戏、牧歌、道德、诗歌、格言和语法）从未被完整编辑过。我们全面的学术版将全面收录雪莉的杰出作品，呈现一位17世纪的多面手：不仅是一位诗人，还是一位活跃在英国和爱尔兰的剧作家，还是一位语法学家和翻译家，他的语言学研究在18世纪被重印。雪莉的作品与他的伊丽莎白和詹姆斯时代的前辈们，如莎士比亚、博蒙特/弗莱彻和福特的艺术相呼应，并建立在他们的艺术基础上。没有他，卡洛琳的戏码就无法想象了。雪莉是上流社会礼仪的超然观察者，她擅长于礼貌的交谈及其黑暗的暗流。他的作品探讨了卡罗琳社会的紧张关系。他戏剧中坚强的女性角色标志着当时人们对女性表演的态度发生了巨大变化。在这种背景下，雪莉对歌曲和舞蹈的专注——这是女性可以接触到的表演领域——尤其值得注意。他的戏剧通常通过声音和动作等非语言线索来刻画人物：仅喜剧就包含数百个关于舞蹈的参考，其中许多现在已经模糊了。通过阐明这些，新版将挖掘17世纪英国文化史中丢失的细节，并使它们第一次为更普通的读者所接受。CWJS将充分回应雪莉的文学和历史范围，填补卡罗琳戏剧和文化研究的严重空白，并显著改变17世纪英格兰（和爱尔兰）文学景观的面貌。一卷的评论文章（临时标题，OUP）将包含易访问的书面文章雪莉和他的工作的文化背景，并传达雪莉对卡罗琳文化的影响，一般读者。此外，我们正在与英国出版集团商谈出版《詹姆斯·雪莉选集》，向非专业观众介绍雪莉的一些最好的作品。我们的团队包括杰出且经验丰富的编辑，卡罗琳文化领域的主要学者，以及早期现代诗歌，人文计算，手稿和印刷历史，戏剧，音乐和舞蹈方面的专家。这一版本，以及我们将发表的与之相关的研究，将为研究人员和学生提供英语和爱尔兰文学和戏剧的资源。它们将吸引音乐学家、文化历史学家和对文艺复兴时期和巴洛克时期的社会实践感兴趣的读者。

The Complete Works of James Shirley (1596-1666): A Modernized, Critical Edition in 10 Volumes with music scores (OUP) and an Electronic Old-Spelling Edition of early print and manuscript witnessesWe will edit The Complete Works of James Shirley (CWJS), a corpus of around 50 works. James Shirley was one of the most significant dramatic writers of the late English Renaissance, productive between the 1620s and the 1660s, yet his complete works (including tragedies, comedies, tragicomedies, masques, pastorals, moralities, poems, aphorisms and grammars) have never been fully edited. Our comprehensive scholarly edition will embrace the full range of Shirley's remarkable output and present a multifaceted seventeenth-century author: not only a poet, but a playwright active in England and Ireland, and grammarian and translator whose linguistic studies were reprinted in the eighteenth century. Shirley's work echoes and builds upon the art of his Elizabethan and Jacobean predecessors, such as Shakespeare, Beaumont/Fletcher, and Ford. Caroline drama would be unthinkable without him. Shirley, a detached observer of the rituals of the upper classes, specializes in polite conversation and its darker undercurrents. His work probes the tensions of Caroline society. The strong female characters in his plays mark a sea-change in attitudes to female performance at the time. In this context Shirley's pre-occupation with song and dance - areas of performance which were accessible to women - is particularly noteworthy. His drama in general portrays characters through an uncommonly detailed range of non-verbal clues such as sound and movement: the comedies alone contain several hundred references to dancing, many of them now obscure. By elucidating these, the edition will excavate lost details in the cultural history of seventeenth-century England, and make them for the first time accessible to a more general readership. CWJS will respond fully to Shirley's literary and historical scope, fill a serious gap in the study of Caroline theatre and culture, and significantly change the look of the literary landscape in seventeenth-century England (and Ireland). A volume of Critical Essays (provisional title, OUP) will contain accessibly written essays on Shirley and the cultural context of his work and convey Shirley's impact on Caroline culture to a general readership. Furthermore, we are negotiating a volume of The Selected Works of James Shirley with OUP to introduce some of Shirley's finest pieces to a non-specialist audience.Our team includes distinguished and experienced editors, leading scholars in the field of Caroline culture, as well as experts on early modern poetry, Humanities computing, manuscript and printing history, theatre, music and dance. This edition, and the studies we will publish in relation to it, will provide resources for researchers and students in English and Irish literature and theatre. They will appeal to musicologists, cultural historians, and readers interested in the social practices of the Renaissance and the Baroque.
