Overview
Shakespeare Matters: History, Teaching, Performance is a collection of original essays that addresses three significant areas in contemporary Shakespeare studies: interpretations of the plays in their historical and social contexts; the varying roles of Shakespeare's work in educational practices and traditions; and performance conventions and textual issues from the sixteenth century to the present. In each area, the authors discuss a range of issues by applying and debating key critical approaches to Shakespeare including new historicism, cultural materialism, feminism, and postcolonialism.Synopsis
International authors, teachers, and researchers offer challenging and innovative viewpoints on the ways that Shakespeare and his plays continue to be reproduced and understood in a variety of cultural contexts. Davis (English, U. of Queensland, Australia) edits 21 essays focusing on interpretation of the plays within their social and historical contexts, the influence on education practices and traditions, and performance conventions and textual issues.
