Reading the Past, Understanding the Present is a collection of essays by students from nine European universities who took part in a strategic partnership aiming to promote historical understanding of the crises plaguing Europe and the world today. The authors examine early modern theater, the works of William Shakespeare in particular, and consider how it speaks to various local and global issues. This book offers new insight into the relationship between the past as represented in the works of Shakespeare and complex contemporary issues such as the migrant crisis, racial diversity, democracy, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
