Artists and writers in early twentieth-century England engaged in a
variety of ways with the cultural traditions of Shakespeare as a
means of defining and relating what they understood to be their own
unique historical experience. In Shakespeare and Modernism, Cary
DiPietro expands upon the established studies of this field by
uncovering the connections and contexts which unite a broad range
of cultural practices, from theatrical and book production,
including that of Edward Gordon Craig and Harley Granville-Barker,
to literary constructions of Shakespeare by high modernists such as
T. S. Eliot, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf. Important contexts for
the discussion include Marxist aesthetic theory contemporary with
the period, the Nietzschean and Freudian contexts of English
modernism and early twentieth-century feminism. An original and
accessible study, this book will appeal to students and scholars of
both Shakespeare and modernism alike.
