The Shakespearean World takes a global view of Shakespeare and his
works, especially their afterlives. Constantly changing, the
Shakespeare central to this volume has acquired an array of
meanings over the past four centuries. "Shakespeare" signifies the
historical person, as well as the plays and verse attributed to
him. It also signifies the attitudes towards both author and works
determined by their receptions. Throughout the book, specialists
aim to situate Shakespeare's world and what the world is because of
him. In adopting a global perspective, the volume arranges
thirty-six chapters in five parts: Shakespeare on stage
internationally since the late seventeenth century; Shakespeare on
film throughout the world; Shakespeare in the arts beyond drama and
performance; Shakespeare in everyday life; Shakespeare and critical
practice. Through its coverage, The Shakespearean World offers a
comprehensive transhistorical and international view of the ways
this Shakespeare has not only influenced but has also been
influenced by diverse cultures during 400 years of performance,
adaptation, criticism, and citation. While each chapter is a
freshly conceived introduction to a significant topic, all of the
chapters move beyond the level of survey, suggesting new directions
in Shakespeare studies - such as ecology, tourism, and new media -
and making substantial contributions to the field. This volume is
an essential resource for all those studying Shakespeare, from
beginners to advanced specialists.
