Books by Lukas Erne

The first annotated edition of Bel-vedere, an influential commonplace book of 1600. This is an important volume for students of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and scholars of early modern poetry and drama, the history of the book, early modern canon-formation, and the reception history of leading authors of the time.

Thomas Kyd is arguably Shakespeare's most important tragic predecessor. In Lukas Erne's book, "The Spanish Tragedy" - the most popular of all plays on the English Renaissance stage - receives scholarly and critical treatment, including a full reception and modern stage history.
