That interest is not the full extent of the play’s literary self-consciousness: it is concerned throughout with reading, particularly if the term is defined to include not only the literal reception or recitation of texts but also the interpretation of personalities, events, and the arc of history. Reading’s importance and figurative potential are established early in the first act through the Soothsayer’s introduction to his craft: “In nature’s infinite book of secrecy / A little I can read” (1.2.10–11). Of course, what the Soothsayer is reading in nature’s book—the remaining lives of the play’s central characters—is also the plot of the play. There is thus an inevitable parallel between the Soothsayer’s reading of auguries and two other kinds of reading: Shakespeare’s, necessarily on display in a play about well-documented historical figures, and that of his audience. The latter occurs in many forms: literal reading is never entirely absent even in the theater (the promptbook is always there), playgoers may have read about the characters or the play itself previously, and the play acknowledges, particularly through the panoply of commentary on the meaning of Antony’s life and character, that the audience will be interpreting what they are seeing. In a printed edition of the play, particularly one with a scholarly function, all of these elements of reading, past and future, come together. This essay examines the interactions between various conceptions of reading in Antony and Cleopatra and some of the kinds of reading that emerge in the","PeriodicalId":39634,"journal":{"name":"SHAKESPEARE QUARTERLY","volume":"74 1","pages":"113 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45187730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A compulsive reader of (and compiler of notes from) Renaissance texts, Burckhardt had observed that a highranking Venetian military officer of Black African ancestry was briefly cited in one of the most important accounts of the battle between Charles VIII of France and his Italian enemies at Fornovo di Taro in July of 1495. What immediately jumped to Burckhardt’s mind, as it does to that of a modern reader, was a possible connection to Shakespeare’s Othello (1604). After the citation of his source, the only comment Burckhardt made was this: “ein Neger (Aethiops) als höherer venezianischer Offizier, wonach auch Othello als Neger gefasst werrden kann” (“a Negro [‘Ethiopian’] as a high Venetian officer, according to which Othello can be understood as a Negro”). This essay will outline what is known (and not known) of this commander, provide some context for understanding his appearance in the historical record, and evaluate whether his career might have played an indirect role in generating the Black African protagonist of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Burckhardt’s footnote has largely been left undisturbed by scholars since its publication, except (in another learned footnote) by the art historian Elfriede Knauer (1926–2010), who cited it in a 2003 essay in Apollo, which is how it came to my attention. Knauer referenced Burckhardt in conjunction with her discussion of the two Black African oarsmen in Vittore Carpaccio’s Hunting on the Lagoon (circa 1492–1494; figure 1), but did not offer any discussion of either Burckhardt’s brief speculation about Othello or the Renaissance source that had","PeriodicalId":39634,"journal":{"name":"SHAKESPEARE QUARTERLY","volume":"74 1","pages":"69 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48217727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whether in her groundbreaking scholarship on humoral theory, her leadership of the Folger Shakespeare Library, or her editorial roles at Shakespeare Quarterly, Gail’s unique ability to bring passion, leadership, and insight to her work have been an inspiration to her colleagues. I know this firsthand as her successor as Folger Director. Gail led the Folger through a period of change, challenge, and innovation—including a period of seismic shifts in the intellectual landscape as the generalizations of “high theory” were forced into conversation with the “archive.” Shakespeare Quarterly helped lead the conversation about how methodologies from many fields could be in dialogue with our teaching and scholarship around this writer and the early modern period. As the aperture widens ever more in terms of the disciplines we engage, and the history and uses of Shakespeare scholarship come into clearer focus, I am grateful for the intellectual intensity and focus that Gail has brought to the journal—an intensity that we know sits comfortably with her warmth as a colleague and human being. In its role as lead journal for one of the most widely read and performed writers in the world, Shakespeare Quarterly has found and advanced the most searching discussions about this writer and the humanities more generally. Some of the intensity of that conversation is a result of Shakespeare’s myriad identities—as an institution, a canonical writer, a bankable theatrical storyteller, and a pivot-point in historical formations such as colonialism. And our ability to think about Shakespeare in these ways is itself a legacy of the journal and the care that has guided and sustained its work.","PeriodicalId":39634,"journal":{"name":"SHAKESPEARE QUARTERLY","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135185656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When I was Jonathan Gil Harris’s graduate student, I heard Gil quip that he would never want to meet Shakespeare because he would probably be severely underwhelmed. While Shakespeare may not measure up to the fantasy versions we each conjure of him, this was not at all my experience of Gail Kern Paster. It would be an understatement to say that Gail’s reputation precedes her. Humoring the Body. Reading the Early Modern Passions. The Body Embarrassed. Not to mention her countless articles exploring the cosmology of Renaissance England. She has been Director of the Folger Shakespeare Library, Editor of Shakespeare Quarterly, President of the Shakespeare Association of America, and the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for her distinguished services to the arts. Knowing all of this about the woman who was about to be my new boss when I joined SQ’s editorial team, I was—as a newly minted Ph.D. with at least a moderate case of imposter syndrome at this point in my career—all nerves. What would I say to her? What would she think of me?
