Shakespeare and Tourism provides a dialogical mapping of
Shakespeare studies and touristic theory through a collection of
essays by scholars on a wide range of material. This volume
examines how Shakespeare tourism has evolved since its inception,
and how the phenomenon has been influenced and redefined by
performance studies, the prevalence of the World Wide Web,
developments in technology, and the globalization of Shakespearean
performance. Current scholarship recognizes Shakespearean tourism
as a thriving international industry, the result of centuries of
efforts to attribute meanings associated with the playwright's
biography and literary prestige to sites for artistic pilgrimage
and the consumption of cultural heritage. Through bringing
Shakespeare and tourism studies into more explicit contact, this
collection provides readers with a broad base for comparisons
across time and location, and thereby encourages a thorough
reconsideration of how we understand both fields.
