Sumario: | "Shakespeare's World/World Shakespeares was the theme of the Eighth World Shakespeare Congress held in Brisbane, Australia, in July 2006, where many of the world's major scholars examined how Shakespeare's plays and poems have shifted meaning and are understood differently as they endure across time and appear in different places, cultures, and forms. This collection, selected and revised from papers given at that conference, charts the extraordinary diversity and richness of Shakespeare studies today and offers new insights into the Bard's own times and through time to our own era." "Almost half of the twenty-nine chapters document the extraordinary rise of global Shakespeare as his characters and stories have been appropriated and retold in societies as various as Australia, Belgium, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Sudan, Egypt, and South Africa, on film as well as on stage, for children as well as adults."--Jacket. |
