Barnden explores how photography has influenced the reception of Shakespeare's plays, documenting performances and influencing interpretations through its vehicles of Shakespearean iconography. It demonstrates how images become attached to narratives beyond their original context, contributing to the calcification of Shakespearean art, advertising, and iconography. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 262 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 August 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince the invention of the camera, Shakespeare and the Photography of Performance has explored the role\u003cbr\u003eSince the invention of the camera, Shakespeare and the Photography of Performance has explored the place of photography in the reception of the Shakespeare canon, looking at how photographic images have shaped perceptions of historicity, performance, and Shakespearean character, and how their dissemination has affected Shakespearean. Barnden reveals how photography has conditioned the reception of Shakespeare's works in two key ways. Firstly, as a form of performance documentation, photographs shape the way individual performances are remembered and their positioning in relation to traditional and iconoclastic interpretations of the text. Secondly, photographs are vehicles of Shakespearean iconography, encouraging certain compositions and interpretations. Exploring both theatrical and staged art photographs, Still Shakespeare demonstrates the role of photography as a contributor to the calcification of Shakespearean, advertising, and iconography, and to the attrition of the relationship between image and text, whereby images become attached to narratives far beyond their original context.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the invention of the camera, Shakespeare and the Photography of Performance has explored the place of photography in the reception of the Shakespeare canon, looking at how photographic images have shaped perceptions of historicity, performance, and Shakespearean character, and how their dissemination has affected Shakespearean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarnden reveals how photography has conditioned the reception of Shakespeare's works in two key ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirstly, as a form of performance documentation, photographs shape the way individual performances are remembered and their positioning in relation to traditional and iconoclastic interpretations of the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecondly, photographs are vehicles of Shakespearean iconography, encouraging certain compositions and interpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring both theatrical and staged art photographs, Still Shakespeare demonstrates the role of photography as a contributor to the calcification of Shakespearean, advertising, and iconography, and to the attrition of the relationship between image and text, whereby images become attached to narratives far beyond their original context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 359g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781108738255\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SallyBarnden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44095085379834,"sku":"9781108738255","price":24.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1660949684431_book.jpg?v=1661359225","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/still-shakespeare-and-the-photography-of-performance-9781108738255","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
