"This book offers a comprehensive array of readings of 'skin' in Shakespeare, a term that embraces the human and animal, noun and verb. Deliberate in its reimagining of critical and theoretical categories such as queer theory, animal studies and indigenous studies, to name a few, Shakespeare / Skin intervenes to offer a wide range of methodological approaches grounded in antiracist practice. With contributors from across the world, readings are informed by an array of histories and shed light on how skin was understood in Shakespeare's time and at key moments during the past 400 years in different media and cultures"--
A study into the prehistory of editorial tradition, focusing on Shakespeare and his earliest 'editors'.
A cutting-edge and comprehensive reassessment of the theories, practices and archival evidence that shape editorial approaches to Shakespeare's texts.
Drawing on debates around the global/local dimensions of cultural production, an international team of contributors explore the appropriation of Shakespeare’s plays in film and performance around the world. In particular, the book examines the ways in which adapters and directors have put Shakespeare into dialogue with local traditions and contexts. The contributors look in turn at ‘local’ Shakespeares for local, national and international audiences, covering a range of English and foreign appropriations that challenge geographical and cultural oppositions between ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’, and ‘big-time’ and ‘small-time’ Shakespeares. Responding to a surge of critical interest in the poetics and politics of appropriation, World-Wide Shakespeares is a valuable resource for those interested in the afterlife of Shakespeare in film and performance globally.
This bold and compelling revisionist history tells the remarkable story of the forgotten lives and labours of Shakespeare's women editors.
The last decade has seen a revival of interest in John Ford and especially 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, his tragedy of religious scepticism, incestuous love, and revenge. This text in particular has provided a focus for scholarship as well as being the subject of a number of major theatrical productions. Simon Barker guides the reader through the full range of previous interpretations of the play; moving from an overview of traditional readings he goes on to enlarge upon new questions that have arisen as a consequence of critical and cultural theory.
This book explores collaboration, theatre practice, and Shakespeare's canon by analysing the evidence of manuscripts used in early modern playhouses.
What does it mean to perform Shakespeare in languages other than English and how do audiences respond?
