Cel The project explores how the early style of Shakespeare's dramatic and non-dramatic works written before 1595, which remains one of the least explored areas in Shakespeare studies, was shaped through a range of influences that came from withing England, European tradition of rhetoric, and classical sources. Critics have often thought of that style in terms of form (language) only, not as a product of a complex interplay of historical, political, ideological, and artistic influences brining 'modernity' England. However, a comparative analysis of the style of Shakespeare's early works within the historical context, modern literary and critical theories, especially an interdisciplinary research involving rhetoric (language and style), history, religion, and visual arts (sculptures and paintings), and the contemporary theories of identity, performance, and nation formation will show that Shakespeare's early style was far more 'European' and 'humanist' in origin than it has been hitherto assumed because he relied heavily on two traditions available to him: one was the persistent influence of the classical and European humanist literature on the English tradition in the 1590s (the most important decade in the emergence in the formation of English literature) and the growing import of European style in the visual arts and architecture in England, which became apparent in London, when Shakespeare arrived there. I propose to write a monograph on this topic, and a major academic publisher in the UK has already expressed an interest in it, and I plan to organize an international conference at UC Cork and publish a volume of essays based on that conference. The study aims to develop a comparative and European approach to interpreting Shakespeare's early style as well as the idea of 'early' style in the aesthetics of the 1590s. One key aspect will be to use interdisciplinary and comparative approach to explore the differing European appraoches to stylistic formation.
