This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical
mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on
interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its
11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths
and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive
from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and
early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include
poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and
others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant
of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between
myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological
figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of
sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge
from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on
multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity. --
