Money and Magic in Early Modern Drama
Edited by David Hawkes, Arizona State University, USA This volume considers three ideological forces in early modern England: money, magic and the theatre. Part One considers an array of figures ranging from Plautus through John Lyly to Christopher Marlowe, while remaining focused on the nexus of money and magic. Part Two concentrates on Shakespeare, whose diagnosis of the relations between finance, witchcraft and the stage is explored in Timon of Athens, The Tempest and A Winter’s Tale.

Contemporary Readings in Gender and Sexuality
Shakespeare / Sex interrogates the relationship between Shakespeare and sex, challenging readers to consider Shakespeare’s texts in light of the most recent theoretical approaches to gender and sexuality studies. It takes as its premise that gender and sexuality studies are key to any interpretation of Shakespeare, be it his texts and their historical contexts, contemporary stage and cinematic productions, or adaptations from the Restoration to the present day. Approaching “sex” through four main perspectives - heterosexuality, third-wave intersectional feminism, queer studies, and trans studies - this book tackles a number of hot topics.

Contemporary Readings in Sensory Culture
Shakespeare | Sense explores the intersection of Shakespeare and sensory studies, asking what sensation can tell us about early modern drama and poetry, and, conversely, how Shakespeare explores the senses in his literary craft, his fictional worlds and his stagecraft. A substantive volume, edited by leading and emerging scholars working at the cutting edge of the field, with 15 chapters reflecting on the current state of Shakespearean intersection around the issues and ideas of sense, the essays provide inventive reflections, suggestions for future directions for the field, and interdisciplinary engagements.

The Arden Shakespeare Handbooks The Arden Research Handbook of Contemporary Shakespeare Criticism Edited by Evelyn Gajowski, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA
The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Social Justice
Edited by David Ruiter, University of Texas at El Paso, USA
This authoritative guide contains chapters on over 20 specific critical practices to Shakespeare, each grounded in analysis of a play. These practices range from foundational approaches including character studies, close reading and genre studies, through the critical practices that emerged in the 1970s and 80s including feminist, Marxist and psychoanalytic theories. Approaches drawn from postcolonial, queer studies and race studies, besides more recent topics including disability studies, global studies and the digital humanities all receive detailed treatment.
Across four sections this authoritative guide explores the relevance and responsibility of art to the real world - to the significant teaching and learning, performance and practice, theory and economies that not only expand the discussion of literature and theatre, but also open the gate of engagement between the life of the mind and lived experience. The collection draws from noted scholars, writers, and practitioners from around the globe to assert the power of art to question, disrupt and re-invigorate questions of social justice today.
