Preview The Shakespearean World
THE SHAKESPEAREAN WORLD The Shakespearean World takes a global view of Shakespeare and his works, espe- cially their afterlives. Constantly changing, the Shakespeare central to this volume has acquired an array of meanings over the past four centuries. “Shakespeare” sig- nifi es the historical person, as well as the plays and verse attributed to him. It also signifi es the attitudes towards both author and works determined by their recep- tions. Throughout the book, specialists aim to situate Shakespeare’s world and what the world is because of him. In adopting a global perspective, the volume arranges thirty-six chapters in fi ve parts: • Shakespeare on stage internationally since the late seventeenth century; • Shakespeare on fi lm throughout the world; • Shakespeare in the arts beyond drama and performance; • Shakespeare in everyday life; • Shakespeare and critical practice. Through its coverage, The Shakespearean World offers a comprehensive transhistor- ical and international view of the ways this Shakespeare has not only infl uenced but has also been infl uenced by diverse cultures during 400 years of performance, adapta- tion, criticism, and citation. While each chapter is a freshly conceived introduction to a signifi cant topic, all of the chapters move beyond the level of survey, suggesting new directions in Shakespeare studies – such as ecology, tourism, and new media – and making substantial contributions to the fi eld. This volume is an essential resource for all those studying Shakespeare, from beginners to advanced specialists. Jill L. Levenson is Emeritus Professor of English at Trinity College, University of Toronto, Canada, and is an honorary vice president of the International Shakespeare Association.
