A selection of new essays by leading scholars A survey of resources
to direct students’ further reading about the play in print and
online Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice has often been
labelled a ‘problem play’, and throughout the ages it has been
an object of both fascination and repulsion. Without neglecting the
socio-political and religious issues that are at the heart of the
play, this collection of critical essays invites readers to
rediscover the variety of approaches that this multifaceted work
calls for, exploring its gender aspects, its rich mythological
background, its legal matters and the ways in which it has been
adapted to the screen. Essays consider the play in relation to its
sources, genre and religion, historical and socio-political context
and its critical reception and performance history.
