Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice occupies a unique place in
world culture. As the fictional, albeit iconic, character of
Shylock has been interpreted as exotic outsider, social pariah,
melodramatic villain and tragic victim, the play, which has been
performed and read in dozens of languages, has served as a lens for
examining ideas and images of the Jew at various historical
moments. In the last two hundred years, many of the play's stage
interpreters, spectators, readers and adapters have themselves been
Jews, whose responses are often embedded in literary, theatrical
and musical works. This volume examines the ever-expanding body of
Jewish responses to Shakespeare's most Jewishly relevant play.
