Shakespeare Verbatim(1st Edition) The Reproduction of Authenticity and the 1790 Apparatus by MargretaDeGrazia Hardcover, 264 Pages, Published 1991 by Clarendon Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-811778-0, ISBN: 0-19-811778-7
"Shakespeare Verbatim challenges traditional Shakespeare scholarship through a study of its textual primacy in the late eighteenth century. The book's examination of earlier treatments demonstrates that concepts now basic to Shakespeare studies were once largely irrelevant. Only with Edmond Malone's 1790 Shakespeare edition do such criteria as authenticity, historical periodization, factual biography, chronological development, and in-de ..."

'Hamlet' without Hamlet(1st Edition) by MargretaDeGrazia Paperback, 280 Pages, Published 2007 by Cambridge University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-521-69036-2, ISBN: 0-521-69036-6
"'Hamlet' without Hamlet sets out to counter the modern tradition of abstracting the character Hamlet from the play. For over two centuries, Hamlet has been valued as the icon of consciousness: but only by ignoring the hard fact of his dispossession. By admitting that premise, this book brings the play to life around man's relation to land, from graves to estate to empire. Key preoccupations are thereby released, including the gendered i ..."

"This is a book that reflects on our attachment to the biography of Shakespeare by looking at the two centuries when Shakespeare had none."
""Margreta de Grazia continues to change the course of Shakespeare studies in this book, where she focuses on four key terms: anachronism, chronology, periods, and the grand secular narrative."

"The term “secular” inspires thinking about disenchantment, periodization, modernity, and subjectivity. The essays in Sacred and Secular Transactions in the Age of Shakespeare argue that Shakespeare’s plays present “secularization” not only as a historical narrative of progress but also as a hermeneutic process that unleashes complex and often problematic transactions between sacred and secular. These transactions shape ideas about every ..."
