This is an entertaining account of Shakespeare's afterlives in
fiction. Paul Franssen offers the first sustained analysis of
stories and films that involve the character of Shakespeare. Taking
a broad international and historical perspective, he shows how
fictions about Shakespeare help us understand what he meant to a
certain age, nation, or author, and how they have become a vital
aspect of the Shakespeare industry. Appearing sometimes as a ghost
or time-traveller, fictional Shakespeares have been made to speak
to many issues, such as the French Revolution, the Irish conflict,
colonialism, the Anglo-American relationship, sexual orientation,
race and class. Written in an accessible style, this book will
appeal to advanced students as well as academic researchers in
Shakespeare studies, film and cultural studies, literary reception
and creative writing.
