More has been written about Shakespeare than about any other
author, and so much new scholarship continues to be generated that
even experts are daunted. While bibliographies of Shakespeare
scholarship exist, these tend to cover works that are primarily of
academic interest. At the same time, there are many scholarly works
of inestimable value to theatre professionals. These works can help
actors and directors gain a better understanding of Shakespeare's
plays, his world, and the ways in which theatre companies have
interpreted his works. But because of the sheer bulk of Shakespeare
scholarship, it is difficult for theatre professionals to
distinguish such materials from more arcane studies.
This reference is a convenient guide to the many scholarly works
on Shakespeare that are of special interest to members of the
dramatic community. The volume begins with a consideration of how
the needs of theatre professionals differ from those of scholars.
It then offers advice on how to use the resources of academic
libraries. Topics such as the merits of particular editions and
commentaries, available reference resources, graphic works and
studies of the Elizabethan world, and the ways in which
Shakespeare's plays have been staged are also discussed.
