Celtic Shakespeare (eBook, ePUB)

The Bard and the Borderers

Produktbeschreibung

Examining the commonalities and differences in addressing a notionally 'Celtic' Shakespeare, this collection brings together the best scholarship on the individual nations of Ireland, Scotland and Wales in a way that emphasizes cultural crossovers and crucibles of conflict. The essays in this volume cohere in a wide-ranging treatment of Shakespeare's direct and oblique references to the archipelago, and the problematic issue of national identity.
