"Shakespeare Matters: History, Teaching, Performance is a
collection of original essays which addresses three significant
areas in contemporary Shakespeare studies: interpretations of the
plays in their historical and social contexts; the varying roles of
Shakespeare's work in educational practices and traditions; and
performance conventions and textual issues from the sixteenth
century to the present. The authors discuss a range of issues by
applying and debating key critical approaches to Shakespeare,
including new historicism, cultural materialism, feminism, and
postcolonialism. In this sense the volume makes a unique
contribution to Shakespeare studies by focusing on the diverse
values and uses assumed by his work in particular contexts and
institutions and in relation to specific practices from acting to
editing to teaching. The essays are unified by the collective
thesis that Shakespeare continues to "matter in important ways to
vast numbers of people in many spheres of historical and cultural
life. Lloyd Davis is a Reader in English at the University of
Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.
