For many, Shakespeare represents the advent of modernity. It is
easy to forget that he was in fact a writer deeply embedded in the
Middle Ages, who inherited many of his shaping ideas and
assumptions from the medieval past. This collection brings together
essays by internationally renowned scholars of medieval and early
modern literature, the history of the book and theatre history to
present new perspectives on Shakespeare and his medieval heritage.
Separated into four parts, the collection explores Shakespeare and
his work in the context of the Middle Ages, medieval books and
language, the British past, and medieval conceptions of drama and
theatricality, together showing Shakespeare's work as rooted in
late medieval history and culture. Insisting upon Shakespeare's
complexity and medieval multiplicity, Medieval Shakespeare gives
readers the opportunity to appreciate both Shakespeare and his
period within the traditions that fostered and surrounded him.
