Early Modern Cultural Studies
University of Nebraska Press
Early Modern Cultural Studies is an interdisciplinary series that examines a wide range of aesthetic works and moments in their original cultural milieu. The series is interested in questions about a rapidly changing world where politics, religion, national identity, and gender roles were all subjects of contestation and redefinition, focusing on a broad definition of the early modern period which encompasses the fifteenth to the eighteenth century.
This would include, for example, the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries as the products of the burgeoning theatrical industry, designed for the entertainment of heterogeneous audiences who lived in a rapidly changing world where politics, religion, national identity, and gender roles were all subjects of contestation and redefinition.
Manuscripts will be chosen from fields including but not limited to, literature, history, philosophy, religion and political science, in order to enable a truly multifaceted understanding of the early modern period.

Ghosts, Holes, Rips and Scrapes
Shakespeare in 1619, Bibliography in the Longue Durée
“This is a magnificent contribution to bibliography that will be read enthusiastically by Shakespeare scholars and anyone working in the field of the history of the book, textual editing, and bibliography at the highest level. Zachary Lesser elegantly conveys the implications of his rigorous archival research, and the impression is—quite thrillingly—of a scholar rewriting in significant ways the history of a book that we thought we knew.”—Adam Smyth, Balliol College, Oxford University
£40.00 | Hardback | May 2021
“Hamlet” After Q1
An Uncanny History of the Shakespearean Text
“Lesser’s great achievement… is to show why textual bibliography matters…. This highly original book thrusts bibliography up from the footnotes and into the footlights, by showing in fascinating detail how the bibliographical algebra of Q1, Q2, and F has made a crucial contribution to the interpretation and performance of Hamlet.”—Times Literary Supplement
