Emma Smith: 我认为莎士比亚的剧本印刷文本实际上是舞台生涯的第二阶段。剧本进入印刷阶段,很大程度上是其舞台生命的第二阶段。我认为剧本的印刷版本代表了特定演出的一个版本,而不是莎士比亚希望永远流传的最终版本。剧本对我们来说具有矛盾的价值,没有它们,我们根本不会有莎士比亚。它们几乎是神圣的文件,但我们需要将它们视为偶然的、脆弱的文件,是动态文本的记录,而不是印刷的纪念碑。第一对开本的出版确立了莎士比亚作为一位重要的、永恒的作家地位。它通过其尺寸和重量,传达了莎士比亚作品的重要性,使其与之前短暂的剧本形成对比。莎士比亚的作品留有大量的空间,让人们可以自由呼吸和诠释,这使得他的作品具有持久的吸引力。我认为莎士比亚的作品是新形式的创造力的背景,人们可以在其中找到创作的灵感。 Emma Smith: 1640年出版的莎士比亚十四行诗集,通过改变排版和添加标题,试图将这些作品提升到超越短暂的十四行诗的地位。在莎士比亚早期接受史中,人们可以自由地修改莎士比亚的作品,以使其更好,我认为这种做法应该被恢复。《李尔王》的不同结局版本体现了莎士比亚对悲剧的不同理解。莎士比亚的剧本中,有些元素在不同时代并不完全适用,例如《无事生非》中另一对情侣的关系。

Shownotes Transcript

On today’s episode, an episode from our friends at Sotheby's, exploring the world of Shakespeare. Sam Leith, author, journalist and literary editor of The Spectator, will be joined by Emma Smith, Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Oxford, Tracy-Ann Oberman, who most recently starred as Shylock in her adaptation of The Merchant of Venice, and acclaimed actor Joseph Kloska. They will be revealing how different editions shaped our understanding of Shakespeare’s plays. Why do some of his most famous lines vary from version to version? What do these texts reveal about the many ways Shakespeare’s plays can be interpreted - on the page, on the stage and in the minds of each new generation?

This podcast was recorded at Sotheby’s London in May 2025.
