Su questo libro

Recensione:

This remarkable collection is the most comprehensive and up-to-date Companion to Shakespeare ever assembled. With thirty essays all by distinguished or cutting-edge scholars, covering every significant mode of Shakespearean production and adaptation from the early modern period to the present, such as in music, comics, television, dance, visual arts, radio, film, as well as on the stage, there is no better book for undergraduate Shakespeare courses to contextualize and complement the Bard's own work. --Professor Bryan Reynolds, University of California, Irvine

This is a capacious book on a capacious subject: Shakespearean culture. From comic books to sculpture, poetic language to silent film, the Renaissance stage to the internet, this book shows the ways in which Shakespeare inhabits myriad art forms across time and space. Not only do the thirty topics covered by the contributors illuminate Shakespeare's use for novelists, poets, musicians, artists, dancers and filmmakers but they also locate Shakespeare in his own age and on his own stage. There is no Companion like this! --Laurie Maguire, University of Oxford
