How do writers of contemporary fiction incorporate Shakespeare -
the man, his work and his cultural legacy? This collection brings
together some of the leading voices in the scholarship of
Shakespearean adaptation and appropriation to examine the ways in
which writers have used literary culture's most prominent
historical figure to their own ends since the year 2000. The essays
consider the representation of the man himself, the rethinking of
his stories - often in pointed defiance of the original - and
explorations of the plays radically repositioned in time and space.
In the process the collection reveals which versions of Shakespeare
are most current in contemporary culture and education, even as
they remake them in the terms of the present, often exploiting the
new notions of genre, of publishing technologies, and of political
identity which have evolved so drastically since the turn of the
last century.
