Shakespeare is the most frequently quoted English author of all
time. Quotations appear everywhere, from the epigraphs of novels to
the mottoes on coffee cups. But Shakespeare was also a frequent
quoter himself - of classical and contemporary literature, of the
Bible, of snatches of popular songs and proverbs. This volume
brings together an international team of scholars to trace the rich
history of quotation from Shakespeare's own lifetime to the present
day. Exploring a wide range of media, including Romantic poetry,
theatre criticism, novels by Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy and Ian
McEwan, political oratory, propaganda, advertising, drama, film and
digital technology, the chapters draw fresh connections between
Shakespeare's own practices of creative reworking and the quotation
of his work in new and traditional forms. Richly illustrated and
featuring an Afterword by Margreta de Grazia, the collection tells
a new story of the making and remaking of Shakespeare's plays and
poems.
