'Remember thee? Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat In
this distracted globe.' Hamlet's lines pun on the globe as both his
skull and the Globe Theatre. But what does memory have to do with
Shakespeare and performances past and present? This collection of
essays, first published in 2006, provides a meeting between the
flourishing fields of memory studies and Shakespeare performance
studies. The chapters explore a wide range of topics, from the
means by which editors of Shakespeare plays try to help their
readers remember performance to the ways actors sometimes forget
Shakespeare's lines, from the evocative memories instilled in the
archives of costumes to the photographing of props that act as
memories of performances past. The fifteen contributors are leaders
in the field of Shakespeare performance studies and their
considerations of the possibilities of the subject open up a rich
new vein in Shakespeare studies.
