This original and innovative book proposes 'dismemory' as a new
form of intertextual engagement with Shakespeare by modern and
contemporary Irish writers. Through reflection on these canonical
writers and ranging across thirteen Shakespeare plays,
Taylor-Collins demonstrates how Irish writers who helped to fashion
and critique the Irish nation state carry an indelible, if often
subdued, mark of Shakespeare's early modern English influence. The
volume overall renews and revitalises the Shakespeare-modern
Ireland connection: Taylor-Collins reveals Hamlet's hauntological
legacy in Playboy of the Western World, Ulysses, and Ghosts; how
the corporal economies that exert pressure from Coriolanus and Ben
Jonson flicker through to the antiheroes in Beckett's Three Novels;
and how the landed legacies of territorial contests in Shakespeare
are engaged with in Yeats's poetry, and similarly how the diseased
muddiness in Hamlet is addressed by Heaney. -- .
