Shakespeare and Modernism investigates the variety of ways in which artists and writers in early twentieth-century England engaged with the cultural traditions of Shakespeare as a means of defining and relating what they understood to be their own unique historical experience. DiPietro uncovers the connections and contexts which unite a broad range of cultural practices, from theatrical and book production, including that of Edward Gordon Craig and Harley Granville-Barker, to literary constructions of Shakespeare by high modernists such as T. S. Eliot, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf.
