The Theory of the Theatre
A play is a story devised to be presented by actors on a stage before an audience. This plain statement of fact affords an exceedingly simple definition of the drama, --a definition so simple indeed as to seem at the first glance easily obvious and therefore scarcely worthy of expression.

OuterSpeares
For Shakespeare and Shakespearean adaptation, the global digital media environment is a brave new world of opportunity and revolution. InOuterSpeares: Shakespeare, Intermedia, and the Limits of Adaptation, noted scholars of Shakespeare and new media consider the ways in which various media affect how we understand Shakespeare and his works. Daniel Fischlin and his collaborators explore a wide selection of adaptations that occupy the space between and across traditional genres what artist Dick Higgins calls intermedia ranging from adaptations that use social networking, cloud computing, and mobile devices to the many handicrafts branded and sold in connection with the Bard. With essays on YouTube and iTunes, as well as radio, television, and film, OuterSpeares is the first book to examine the full spectrum of past and present adaptations, and one that offers a unique perspective on the transcultural and transdisciplinary aspects of Shakespeare in the contemporary world.

Modern literature, the version of literature familiar today, was an international invention, but it was forged when liter...
