UD Press book wins kudos 11:07 a.m., Nov. 19, 2003--Shakespeares Imitations, an academic book published this past spring by the University of Delaware Press, recently caught the attention of critics at Choice Magazine. Selecting the book as one of the outstanding academic titles for 2003, Choice Magazine praises the work for insightfully and persuasively document[ing] certain literary techniques and patterns used repeatedly by Shakespeare throughout his career. Written by Mark Taylor, a professor of English at Manhattan College, the book analyzes Shakespeares use of mimesis, the concept of imitation. It was marketed primarily to an academic audience and is currently sold out, but will soon be heading into a second printing. Established in the early 1970s, the University of Delaware Press joined the Associated University Presses (AUP) consortium in 1975 and now publishes approximately 35 to 40 books a year under its own imprint. AUP handles the actual production and distribution of the books. The University of Delaware Press publishes books in all fields of scholarship, with major strengths in literary studies, especially Shakespeare, Renaissance and early modern literature; 18th-century studies; French literature; art history and history; the family in interdisciplinary perspective; and historical and cultural studies of Delaware and the Eastern Shore.
