Arden Shakespeare and Theory provides a comprehensive analysis of
the theoretical developments that have dominated Shakespeare
studies in recent years, as well as those that are emerging at the
present moment. Each volume provides: · a clear definition of a
particular theory; · a survey of its major theorists and critics;
· an analysis of its significance in Shakespeare studies; · a
summary of relevant political, social and economic contexts; · a
wealth of suggested resources for further investigation. Reception
Theory provides readers with a unique overview and understanding of
the ways in which both audiences and readers have reacted to
Shakespeare's works historically and in the present. This study
demonstrates how recent emphases on a reader’s and a spectator's
role in the creation of meaning might allow us to contemplate
Shakespeare’s work in fresh and often provocative ways. Among the
plays included as case studies are A Midsummer Night's Dream,
Hamlet, The Tempest, King Lear and Henry V. Shakespeare and
Reception Theory pays close attention to early modern modes of
interaction in the playhouse alongside more recent assumptions that
underlie spectating and performing.
