The vitality of our culture is still often measured by the status Shakespeare has within it. Contemporary readers and writers continue to exploit Shakespeare's cultural afterlife in a vivid and creative way. This collection of essays shows how writers' efforts to intimate, contradict, compete with and reproduce Shakespeare keep him in the cultural conversation. The contributors analyze the methods and motives of Shakespearean appropriation by looking at a wide range of works and people including: Kenneth Branagh's "Hamlet"; "A Thousand Acres" by Jane Smiley; "Mama Day" by Gloria Naylor; Robert Browning; the Disney films "The Little Mermaid" and "The Lion King"; and Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch.
