This book is the first comprehensive account of global Shakespeare
commemoration in the period between 1916 and 2016. Combining
historical analysis with insights into current practice,
Memorialising Shakespeare covers Shakespeare commemoration in
China, Ukraine, Egypt, and France, as well as Great Britain and the
United States. Chapter authors discuss a broad range of
commemorative activities-from pageants, dance, dramatic
performances, and sculpture, to conferences, exhibitions, and more
private acts of engagement, such as reading and diary writing.
Themes covered include Shakespeare's role in the formation of
cultural memory and national and global identities, as well as
Shakespeare's relationship to decolonisation and race. A
significant feature of the book is the inclusion of chapters from
organisers of recent Shakespeare commemoration events, reflecting
on their own practice. Together, the chapters in Memorialising
Shakespeare show what has been at stake when communities, identity
groups, and institutions have come together to commemorate
Shakespeare.
