Shakespeare's history plays have always been pivotal to our
understanding of his works. This collection renews attention to
these crucial plays by exploring official and unofficial versions
of the past, histories and counter-histories in the plays of
Shakespeare and his contemporaries. By exploring the diversity of
Shakespeare's engagement with history in all its forms, these
contributors open up a range of new interpretive possibilities for
understanding the way history 'plays' with the past. The book is
divided into three sections: Memory and mourning,
Counter-histories, Identity and performance. In each section,
leading theorists, historicists and performance critics offer fresh
perspectives on the key issues that are transforming our
understanding of Shakespeare. These include: gender and violence,
the mapping of Britain, cultural memory and religion. This
collection will appeal to all critically engaged readers of
Shakespeare. In particular it will command wide-ranging interest
from undergraduates, postgraduates, academic researchers and
students of early modern theatre, history and culture. -- .
