Shakespeare Between the World Wars draws parallels between
Shakespearean scholarship, criticism, and production from 1920 to
1940 and the chaotic years of the Interwar era. The book begins
with the scene in Hamlet where the Prince confronts his mother,
Gertrude. Just as the closet scene can be read as a productive
period bounded by devastation and determination on both sides,
Robert Sawyer shows that the years between the World Wars were
equally positioned. Examining performance and offering detailed
textual analyses, Sawyer considers the re-evaluation of Shakespeare
in the Anglo-American sphere after the First World War. Instead of
the dried, barren earth depicted by T. S. Eliot and others in the
1920s and 1930s, this book argues that the literary landscape
resembled a paradoxically fertile wasteland, for just below the
arid plain of the time lay the seeds for artistic renewal and
rejuvenation which would finally flourish in the later twentieth
century.
