Abstract

This case study of the Dionysus ornament illustrates how the 1623 Shakespearean folio carries with it echoes of previous folio works as it reinterprets this image within its own context. The paper establishes the other Jaggard Press titles in which the headpiece appears to explore how these different contexts draw out the image’s semiotic potential. It notes an extreme uptick in use in Crooke’s Mikrokosmographia, an anatomical work in which urination and ejaculation feature prominently. Operating in tandem with the 1623 prefatory materials, the headpiece participates in the visual organisational logic of the Folio, structures the Folio’s establishment of generic variety, and introduces the volume-wide rhetorical strategy of reading Englishness within a global context. The woodcut’s synchronously urinating dogs also suggest a commentary on the communal bodily experience of live theatre. Having noted ways early modern printed folio projects can be mutually citational through ornaments, the paper discusses how the Shakespearean volume positions itself within the English inflection of classical single-author collected drama through the associations with Dionysus, patron god of drama, and Ben Jonson’s 1616 Workes. The conclusion considers the Second Folio’s adoption of the headpiece as part of the 1623 Folio’s iconic look.

狗在1623年的开本上撒尿:贾格德出版社的酒神装饰
这个关于酒神装饰的案例研究说明了1623年莎士比亚的对开本是如何在它自己的背景下重新诠释这一形象的,它是如何与之前的对开本作品相呼应的。这篇论文建立了其他Jaggard出版社的标题,在这些标题中,头饰似乎在探索这些不同的背景如何引出图像的符号学潜力。它指出,在克鲁克的《微缩世界学》(Mikrokosmographia)这本解剖著作中,排尿和射精的用法出现了显著上升。与1623年的序言材料一起操作,头饰参与了对开本的视觉组织逻辑,构建了对开本的一般多样性,并介绍了在全球背景下阅读英语的卷式修辞策略。木刻的同步撒尿的狗也暗示了对现场戏剧的公共身体体验的评论。在注意到早期现代印刷开本作品可以通过装饰相互引用的方式之后,本文讨论了莎士比亚的卷如何通过与戏剧守护神狄俄尼索斯和本·琼森1616年作品的联系,在经典单作者戏剧集的英语变体中定位自己。结论认为,《第二对开本》采用了这顶帽子,这是1623年对开本标志性外观的一部分。
