The Edinburgh Companion to Shakespeare and the Arts

0.0

This comprensive book xplores the place of Shakespeare in relation to artistic practices and activities, past and present. The thirty newly commissioned chapters in this Companion recover the conditions that enabled Shakespeare's art, and move through subsequent centuries to detail how the plays and poems have been reworked and revitalized in the arts of modernity, including publishing, exhibiting, staging, reconstructing and disseminating. Each chapter provides both a synthesis and a discussion of a topic, informed by current thinking and theoretical reflection.The six sections: Shakespeare & the Book x95; Shakespeare & Music x95; Shakespeare on Stage & in Performance x95; Shakespeare & Youth Culture x95; Shakespeare, Visual & Material Culture x95; Shakespeare, Media & CultureKey Points:x95; Addresses Shakespeare in terms of a global frame of referencex95; Chapters consider chronology and overview, critical history and analysisx95; Responds to a growing critical and pedagogical interest in the relations between Shakespeare, the arts, film, performance and mass media more generally Contributors:Michael Best x95; David Bevington x95; Erin C.
