This essay argues that when considering Jonson’s authorship through early modern credit culture, his participation in the collaborative mechanisms of the playhouses becomes clearer. This is particularly the case with the play Eastward Ho! (1605), written alongside George Chapman and John Marston. Jonson’s early experiences of social credit in the playhouses is examined, especially his relationship with the impresario Philip Henslowe and the Admiral’s Men, as well as his later partnership with the Children of the Queen’s Revels. Close reading of Eastward Ho! reveals how Jonson, Chapman and Marston wrote the kinds of debt and credit relationships they experienced in the companies into the play’s plot. In a play deeply interested in the social effects of performance, the characters constantly enact collaborative devices to add to their credit. The play’s comic ending, dependent on performing collaborative credit, mirrors Jonson’s own immersion in the economy of obligation in the theatres. His eventual literary singularity, and his commensurate sociality, were not separate parts of his career but central to his playwriting practice.

Kinney and the other editors ofEnglish Literary Renaissance for the chance to help celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the journal. More than that, I am grateful to ELR for publishing my first scholarly article in 1999, and for having always supported research into the history of the book and the material text. That 1999 essay on “Walter Burre’s The Knight of the Burning Pestle” went on to form the basis of my dissertation and my first book, Renaissance Drama and the Politics of Publication: Readings in the English Book Trade. There I tried to read early modern drama as its publishers read it, to understand historical reception from the perspective of the book trade. Doing so meant focusing on editions of plays—all of the copies printed from a single setting of type—since it was at the level of editions that early modern publishers made their decisions about how to invest their capital. Likewise, mywork with Alan Farmer— in a series of articles on popularity in the book trade, and in building the websiteDEEP:Database of Early English Playbooks<deep.sas.upenn.edu>— mainly involved editions, since if we want to reconstruct the success or failure of different kinds of books, or particular titles within those genres, we need to be careful to distinguish editions and their reprints from other ways of categorizing books such as issues or states. Many questions we want to ask about the publication, circulation, and reception of books in early modern England properly concern editions. An edition is a conceptual category, with a materiality rooted in the type that was set and then, after printing, distributed by compositors. But thematerial texts that instantiate an edition are individual copies, and these were never identical as they came off the press, much less so as they appear to us today. The concrete particularity of, for example, the marginalia in a given copy of a text can make scholarship on copies, rather than editions, seem more vivid, giving us a glimpse of a “real” historical reader.

In addition to examining the state of the field, what does it mean to interrogate the state of the field? To interpret a “state” as a material or immaterial condition, a state of affairs, offers perhaps themost conventional way of addressing this question. Such a state is necessarily temporally specific and bound, and later in this essay I shall turn to thinking about possible directions for the field and the alternate ways in which we might conceive of futures or futurity. But without being glib, I also want to register the pun on “state” which is, for me, activated here: a state not only as a condition, but as an entity, a polity, an inclusive but also exclusive and sometimes impenetrable space. The project of analyzing the state of the field might offer the possibility of studied neutrality, of careful examination and dispassionate assessment—or conversely, of the opportunity to remove oneself from the position of neutral inquiry, and think instead in the terms of interpellation, even implication. I write in a moment, of course, when the nation state is under increasing pressure from the frighteningly ascendant forces of nationalism and nativism. To harp on the assonances between the nation state and a disciplinary “state”may seem facile or pedantic on the one hand, or unhelpfully polemical or political on the other. And as an untenured, tenuretrack scholar, and an immigrant, I am all too aware of my simultaneous precarity and privilege. But I do so, firstly, in order to underscore the ways in which Renaissance studies may operate as a disciplinary apparatus in its own right, may display and police its own boundaries and borders. Secondly, to call attention to the interstices of Renaissance studies with questions of migration, borderlands, and language, to think about the place of","PeriodicalId":44199,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERARY RENAISSANCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/706214","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45236411","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}

Dowd","doi":"10.1086/706217","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1086/706217","url":null,"abstract":"L ooking back at the twenty-fifth anniversary issue of English Literary Renaissance published in 1995 in preparation to write this piece for the journal’s fiftieth anniversary, I was struck (but not surprised) by the centrality of historicism to the “state of the field” assessments offered by that volume’s contributors. After all, as Jonathan Crewe wrote in his contribution to that issue, during its ascendency in the 1980s and 1990s, the New Historicism afforded Renaissance studies a “hegemonic moment” within the discipline of English writ large. And yet throughout the twenty-fifth anniversary issue, historicism is described primarily as a locus of conflict rather than as a shared methodological point of departure. Noting the dominance of New Historicism in the field, for instance, many of the individual essays trace a developing discord between literary and historical approaches. And several others discuss at significant length the rift (or perceived rift) between feminism and historicism. Indeed, David Bevington and Lynda Boose devote their essays in the volume to precisely this issue: Bevington describes how “confrontation became part of the story” for feminist and New Historicist scholars in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and Boose warns of a “threatening backlash” against feminist scholarship in the years ahead.","PeriodicalId":44199,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERARY RENAISSANCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/706217","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42686315","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}

Indeed, choosing to refer to the period as “earlymodern” rather than “Renaissance”would have beenmaking some sort of statement. That time now seems very remote indeed, and I am probably less certain of my answer than at any time inmy academic career, which is probably not such a bad thing. Disputes between critics and scholars in a relatively stable academic context have been replaced by a much wider set of uncertainties so that any suggestions of where early modern studies might be heading need to be considered in a much wider context. The UK and North America in particular have seen an effective political attack on the value of the humanities at the tertiary education level, coupled with falling birth rates and an economic crisis. In departments and schools of English in the UK the number of students applying for English Literature degrees has been reduced through curriculum changes at the secondary school level, with more concentration on language at the expense of literature, as was recognized some years ago and which is now taking effect.

Doom for Shakespeare is like a place he and his fellows are going to. That does not signify in the twenty-first century. For us, “doom” is not judgment but rather the fact of annihilation. What can scholars of early modern English literature and culture do to help a world at the edge of annihilation? The West is facing a surge of neo-fascist populism and demagoguery. Fear and hatred of the ethnic, racial, and religious Other has pushed its way back into the traditional heartlands of democracy. And fear and hatred is bigger, stronger, and meaner than ever. Even in what was supposed to be the nicest country in the world, Canada, and especially in what used to be my enlightened province of Québec, the fear of foreign invaders—people not like us—seems to be driving much of the political discourse and legislative action.

The topic is tricky because digital technology changes so rapidly, quickly dating or disproving the kind of speculative or visionary claims that the anniversary essay genre expects. For instance, Marcus’ 1995 essay remarked on the conversion of literary and critical texts into CD-ROM format, a format that turned out to be so short-lived that many of today’s students have never even heard of it, let alone considered using it for their digital scholarly projects. The essay also conjectured that scholars would be “slow to surrender the familiar tactile and visual elements of book reading to the very different demands of the computer” (396), which “cannot be held comfortably in the hand” (397). Who could have anticipated that about 15 years later, Apple would release the iPad, the hand-held device on which I readMarcus’ essay recently, using my Apple “pencil” to make notes on the screen in just the way I would have were I reading a printed version of her text. The experience of reading computer-generated texts today has come closer to the experience of reading printed texts than anyone could have suspected it would become twenty-five years ago. Marcus hardly could have known what was around the corner in 1995, but the value of her essay is that its primary focus is not prognostication about technological unknowns. Instead, it takes stock of how changes in digital technology were intersecting in the mid-nineties with more traditional areas of scholarly inquiry, explaining why early modernists were","PeriodicalId":44199,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH LITERARY RENAISSANCE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/706213","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47874521","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}
