Produktbeschreibung

Presents a section on 'European Shakespeares', proceeding from the claim that Shakespeare's literary craft was not just native English or British, but was filtered and fashioned through a Renaissance awareness that needs to be recognized as European, and that has had effects and afterlives across the Continent.

---

This eighth volume of The Shakespearean International Yearbook presents a special section on "European Shakespeares," which highlights how the inclusion of Shakespeare in European culture has been not only a European but also a world affair. Contributors to this issue come from Europe, North America, South Africa, and India. In addition to the section on European Shakespeares, essays in this volume consider issues of character and the genre of romance, and other topics.
