Supernatural elements are of central significance in many of
Shakespeare's plays, contributing to their dramatic power and
intrigue. Ghosts haunt political spaces and internal psyches,
witches foresee the future and disturb the present, fairies meddle
with love and a magus conjures a tempest from the elements.
Although written and performed for early modern audiences, for whom
the supernatural, whether sacred, demonic or folkloric, was part of
the fabric of everyday life, the supernatural in Shakespeare
continues to enthrall audiences and readers, and maintains its
power to raise a range of questions in contemporary contexts. This
edited collection of twelve essays from an international range of
contemporary Shakespeare scholars explores the supernatural in
Shakespeare from a variety of perspectives and approaches,
generating new knowledge and presenting hitherto unexplored avenues
of enquiry across the Shakespearean canon. -- .
