Appropriating Shakespeare

A Cultural History of Pyramus and Thisbe

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Appropriating Shakespeare argues that the vibrant history of Pyramus and Thisbe as an independent text affirms the place of artist as both consumer and producer of Shakespeare. The playlet's four-century history is one that identifies Shakespeare's value as a transformative agent of aesthetic inquiry.
