Produktbeschreibung

Volume 53 of the academic journal devoted to Shakespeare and Early Modern English Drama, Culture and Literature, published annually with peer-reviewed articles, forums, and reviews.

Shakespeare Studies is an annual peer-reviewed volume featuring the work of performance scholars, literary critics, and cultural historians. The journal focuses primarily on Shakespeare and his contemporaries but embraces theoretical and historical studies of socio-political, intellectual, and artistic contexts that extend well beyond the early modern English theatrical milieu. In addition to articles, Shakespeare Studies offers opportunities for extended intellectual exchange through its thematically focused forums and includes substantial reviews. An international editorial board maintains the quality of each volume so that Shakespeare Studies may serve as a reliable resource for all students of Shakespeare and the early modern period-for research scholars as well as teachers, actors, and directors.

Volume 53 includes a Forum entitled "Marlowe Revisited: Text, Performance, Legacy" with contributions from Lucy Munro, Adam Zucker, Kerry Cooke, Hannah L. Wilson, Cecilia Lindskog Whiteley, Jade Standing, Kitamura Sae, Christine Varnado, and Lisa M. Barksdale-Shaw.

And featuring contributions from the Next Generation Plenary of the Shakespeare Association of America with articles by Andrew Hiscock ("'you performe your Antique round': Taking the Measure of Tyranny for a Twenty-first Century Macbeth"); Laura Kolb ("Becoming Tricky in Measure for Measure: Isabella's Silences Revisited"); Jessica M. Rosenberg ("Two Knacks in The Winter's Tale"); Kelly Lehtonen ("Virtuous Attention: Desire, Knowledge, and Compassion in Much Ado about Nothing"); and Kelsey Ridge ("'It was a torment / To lay upon the damned': Ariel and Trauma in The Tempest").

Book reviews consider important publications: Staging Female Characters in Shakespeare's English History Plays; Shakespeare through Islamic Worlds; Generic Innovation in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries; The Bard in the Borderlands; Shakespeare's White Others; The Great White Bard; Wartime Shakespeare; and Shakespeare on the Ecological Surface.
