Shakespeare and American Life celebrates the extraordinary English
poetOs influence on American culture D whether high, low, or
middlebrow D to mark the 150th anniversary of Henry FolgerOs birth
and the 75th anniversary of the great library he and Emily created
for Shakespearean scholarship. A sampler of such scholarship is
here presented by nine essays that offer contexts for the multitude
of images and objects on display in the Folger LibraryOs Great Hall
during the spring and summer of 2007, many of them D and a few
additional images D reproduced in this catalogue. The essays
explore ShakespeareOs influence on AmericaOs cultural history from
a variety of perspectives. Chronologically, they range from the
colonial period, to the adoption of Shakespeare as an OAmerican
geniusO in the nineteenth century, to twentieth-century musical
comedy, film, theater, and finally to Shakespeare as we know him in
twentyfirst century America. Culturally, the essays range from the
academic (about editors and scholars), to the theatrical
(ShakespeareOs continuous presence on the American stage), to the
popular (the appropriation of Shakespeare as a popular icon in
advertising, folk art, and kitsch)."
