Shakespeare in Performance

Description

This collection of modern essays by leading figures in the field of Shakespeare scholarship reveals the rich interplay between contemporary theoretical approaches – psychoanalytic, new historicist, feminist and cultural materialist – and the study of the play in performance, both in Shakespeare’s time and our own. Examining the representation of power, ideology, class, race and gender in a wide range of playtexts and theatrical contexts, the essays explore Shakespeare’s performance possibilities in theory and in practice.
