Performing Restoration Shakespeare embraces the performative and
musical qualities of Restoration Shakespeare (1660-1714), drawing
on the expertise of theatre historians, musicologists, literary
critics, and - importantly - theatre and music practitioners. The
volume advances methodological debates in theatre studies and
musicology by advocating an alternative to performance practices
aimed at reviving 'original' styles or conventions, adopting a
dialectical process that situates past performances within their
historical and aesthetic contexts, and then using that
understanding to transform them into new performances for new
audiences. By deploying these methodologies, the volume invites
scholars from different disciplines to understand Restoration
Shakespeare on its own terms, discarding inhibiting preconceptions
that Restoration Shakespeare debased Shakespeare's precursor texts.
It also equips scholars and practitioners in theatre and music with
new - and much needed - methods for studying and reviving past
performances of any kind, not just Shakespearean ones.
