From fantasy and sci-fi to graphic novels, from boy scouts to board
games, from blockbuster films to the cult of theatre, Shakespeare
is everywhere in popular culture. Where there is popular culture
there are fans and nerds and geeks. The essays in this collection
on Shakespeare and Geek Culture take an innovative approach to the
study of Shakespeare's cultural presences, situating his works, his
image and his brand to locate and explore the nature of that
geekiness that, the authors argue, is a vital but unrecognized
feature of the world of those who enjoy and are obsessed by
Shakespeare, whether they are scholars, film fans, theatre-goers or
members of legions of other groupings in which Shakespeare plays
his part. Working at the intersections of a wide range of fields -
including fan studies and film analysis, cultural studies and
fantasy/sci-fi theory - the authors demonstrate how the
particularities of the connection between Shakespeare and geek
culture generate new insights into the plays, poems and their
larger cultural legacy in the 21st century.
