What does it signify when a Shakespearean character forgets
something or when Hamlet determines to 'wipe away all trivial fond
records'? How might forgetting be an act to be performed, or be
linked to forgiveness, such as when in The Winter's Tale Cleomenes
encourages Leontes to 'forget your evil. / With them, forgive
yourself'? And what do we as readers and audiences forget of
Shakespeare's works and of the performances we watch? This is the
first book devoted to a broad consideration of how Shakespeare
explores the concept of forgetting and how forgetting functions in
performance. A wide-ranging study of how Shakespeare dramatizes
forgetting, it offers close readings of Shakespeare's plays,
considering what Shakespeare forgot and what we forget about
Shakespeare. The book touches on an equally broad range of
forgetting theory from antiquity through to the present day, of
forgetting in recent novels and films, and of creative ways of
making sense of how our world constructs the cultural meaning of
and anxiety about forgetting. Drawing on dozens of productions
across the history of Shakespeare on stage and film, the book
explores Shakespeare's dramaturgy, from characters who forget what
they were about to say, to characters who leave the stage never to
return, from real forgetting to performed forgetting, from the mad
to the powerful, from playgoers to Shakespeare himself.
