We celebrate Shakespeare as a creator of plays and poems,
characters and ideas, words and worlds. But so too, in the four
centuries since his death in 1616, have thinkers, writers, artists
and performers recreated him. Readers of this book are invited to
explore Shakespeare's afterlife on the stage and on the screen, in
poetry, fiction, music and dance, as well as in cultural and
intellectual life. A series of concise introductory essays are here
combined with personal reflections by prominent contemporary
practitioners of the arts. At once a celebration and a critical
response, the book explores Shakespeare as a global cultural figure
who continues to engage artists, audiences and readers of all
kinds. Includes contributions from: John Ashbery, Shaul Bassi,
Simon Russell Beale, Sally Beamish, David Bintley, Michael
Bogdanov, Kenneth Branagh, Debra Ann Byrd, John Caird, Antoni
Cimolino, Wendy Cope, Gregory Doran, Margaret Drabble, Dominic
Dromgoole, Ellen Geer, Michael Holroyd, Gordon Kerry, John
Kinsella, Juan Carlos Liberti, Lachlan Mackinnon, David Malouf,
Javier Marias, Yukio Ninagawa, Janet Suzman, Salley Vickers, Rowan
Williams, Lisa Wolpe, Greg Wyatt. All proceeds from the sale of
this volume will be donated to the International Shakespeare
Association, to support the study and appreciation of Shakespeare
around the world.
