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.
