Written by a team of leading international scholars, this
Companion is designed to illuminate Shakespeare's works through
discussion of the key topics of Shakespeare studies. Twenty-one
brand new essays provide lively and authoritative approaches to
recent scholarship and criticism for readers keen to expand their
knowledge and appreciation of Shakespeare. The book contains
stimulating chapters on traditional topics such as Shakespeare's
biography and the transmission of his texts. Individual readings of
the plays are given in the context of genre as well as through the
cultural and historical perspectives of race, sexuality and gender,
and politics and religion. Essays on performance survey the latest
digital media as well as stage and film. Throughout the volume,
contributors discuss Shakespeare in a global as well as a national
context, a dramatist with a long and constantly mutating history of
reception and performance.
