Newly available in paperback, this collection of essays, written by
distinguished international scholars, focuses on the structural
influence of Italian literature, culture and society at large on
Shakespeare's dramatic canon. Exploring recent methodological
trends coming from Anglo-American new historicism and cultural
materialism and innovative analyses of intertextuality, the
volume's four thematic sections deal with 'Theory and practice',
'Culture and tradition', 'Text and ideology' and 'Stage and
spectacle'. In their own views and critical perspectives, the
individual chapters throw fresh light on the dramatist's pliable
technique of dramatic construction and break new ground in the
field of influence studies and intertextuality as a whole. A rich
bibliography of secondary literature and a detailed index round off
the volume. -- .
