Shakespeare’s Universality

textbook

Kiernan Ryan Through arresting new readings of key comedies, histories, and tragedies, this book sets out to reclaim the idea of Shakespeare’s timeless universality from reactionary and radical critics alike and reveal its revolutionary potential in the modern world. Its argument is driven throughout by the belief that at this moment in history the need to reclaim and activate the revolutionary potential of Shakespeare’s drama is more urgent than ever.

Suitable for any teacher or academic yearning for fresh and authentic approaches to their discipline.

Nine Lives of William Shakespeare

Hamlet’s Dreams

new in PB

The Robben Island Shakespeare David Schalkwyk Hamlet’s Dreams brings together the Robben Island Prison of Nelson Mandela and the prison that is Denmark for Shakespeare’s Hamlet. David Schalkwyk uses the circulation of the so-called ‘Robben Island Shakespeare’, a copy of the Alexander edition of the Complete Works that was secretly circulated, annotated and signed by a group of Robben Island political prisoners in the 1970s, including Mandela, to examine the representation and experience of imprisonment in South African prison memoirs and Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Graham Holderness “Holderness brilliantly shows how biography is built of a writer’s desire to create a coherent life picture, one that explains a particular view of Shakespeare ... The book is immensely thoughtful and written so clearly that it will engage all readers.” Choice

LIAM E. SEMLER is Associate Professor in the Department of English and Director of the Medieval and Early Modern Centre at the University of Sydney, Australia.

Who was Shakespeare and how did he live? Combining fact, tradition and imagination, Shakespeare’s many lives are told in nine possible ways.

A Year of Shakespeare

Text, Reception and Performance

New Media Uses of the Bard

Re-living the World Shakespeare Festival

Edited by Gordon McMullan, Lena Cowen Orlin and Virginia Mason Vaughan This book draws on a variety of resources, including interviews with directors, actors, and other performance practitioners, to explore the place (or absence) of women in the Shakespearean text and in the history of Shakespearean reception from the 17th century to the present.

Paul Yachnin This book argues that the language Shakespeare created was made not by coining new words but rather by orchestrating existing social, literary, and theatrical vocabularies.

Each chapter in the volume begins with a key word or phrase from Shakespeare and builds toward a broader consideration of the social, poetic, and theatrical dimensions of his language. The chapters capture well the richness of Shakespeare’s world of words by including discussions of biblical language, Latinity, philosophy of language and subjectivity, languages of commerce, criminality, history, and education, the gestural vocabulary of performance, as well as accounts of verbal modality and Shakespeare’s metrics.

PAUL YACHNIN is Tomlinson Professor of Shakespeare Studies and Director of the Institute for the Public Life of Arts and Ideas (IPLAI) at McGill University, Canada.

Drawing in part upon recent scholarship that identifies Shakespeare as a co-author of Arden of Faversham, Benson demonstrates the extensive - even uncanny - ties between Othello and the domestic tragedies, arguing that just as Hamlet employs and adapts the conventions of revenge tragedy, so Othello can only be fully understood in terms of its exploitation of the tropes and conventions of domestic tragedy.

Acting Companies and their Plays in Shakespeare’s London

Shakespeare’s World of Words

Shakespeare, Othello and Domestic Tragedy

Stephen O’Neill

How did Elizabethan and Jacobean acting companies create their visual and aural effects? What materials were available to them and how did they influence staging and writing? What impact did the sensations of theatre have on early modern audiences? How did the construction of the playhouses contribute to technological innovations in the theatre?

What effect might these innovations have had on the writing of plays?

This is a landmark collection of essays by leading international scholars addressing these and other questions to create a unique and comprehensive overview of the practicalities and realities of the theatre in the early modern period.
