On Shakespeare's Sonnets
Treasures from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust
A Poets' Celebration
Edited by Delia Garratt, Director of Cultural Engagement, Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust & Tara Hamling, University of Birmingham, UK This unique book brings together, for the first time, a selection of 50 objects from the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon. Accessible and lavishly illustrated, the volume provides an object-based exploration of the role and significance of notable paintings, furniture, ceramics, textiles and metal wares in the everyday experience of people living in Shakespearean England. Published to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death in 2016, it brings Shakespeare's times to life for readers of all ages.
In the four hundred years since Shakespeare's death, the Sonnets have invited imitation, homage, critique, parody and pastiche. These new poems probe our relationship to the Sonnets' intricate form and ambitious scope, their investigation of sexuality, wit, memory and poetic survival. These sonnets and longer lyrics explore what it means to write 'on Shakespeare's Sonnets' in the 21st century. Published in association with the Royal Society of Literature contributing poets include: Andrew Motion, Carol Ann Duffy, Gillian Clarke, Paul Muldoon, Ruth Padel, Simon Armitage, Roger McGough and Jo Shapcott.

1616: Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu's China
Shakespeare's Creative Legacies
Edited by Tian Yuan Tan, SOAS, University of London, UK, Paul Edmondson, The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, UK & Shih-pe Wang, National Taiwan University, Taiwan
Artists, Writers, Performers and Critics Edited by Peter Holbrook, University of Queensland, Australia
The year is 1616. William Shakespeare has died, and the world of the London theatres is mourning his loss. But 1616 is also to see the death of the famous Chinese playwright Tang Xianzu. Four hundred years on, and Shakespeare is now an important meeting place for Anglo-Chinese cultural dialogue in the field of drama and literary studies. SOAS, The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and National Chung Cheng University of Taiwan have gathered together 11 Shakespeareans and 11 Chinese literature experts to reflect on the theatrical climate in England and China in this significant year.
We justly celebrate Shakespeare as a creator of plays and poems, characters and ideas, words and worlds. But so too, in the four centuries since his death in 1616, have thinkers, writers, artists, and performers recreated him. Readers are invited to explore Shakespeare’s afterlife on stage and screen, in poetry, fiction, music, dance, and in cultural life and literary criticism. A series of essays combine with personal reflections from prominent contemporary practitioners of the arts. Both celebration and reflection, this unique book explores Shakespeare as a global cultural figure who continues to inspire artists, audiences and readers around the world.

Arden Student Skills: Language and Writing
Undergraduate
Series Editor: Dympna Callaghan, Syracuse University, USA This series offers a new type of study aid, which combines lively critical insight with practical guidance on the critical writing skills students need to develop in order to engage fully with Shakespeare’s texts. Each edition includes an introduction, considering when and how the play was written; a detailed examination and analysis of the individual text; discussion of performance history and critical reception of the work and a ‘Writing Matters’ section in every chapter that clearly links the analysis of Shakespeare’s language to students’ own writing strategies in coursework and examinations. “This new series from Arden may be aimed at students, but most seasoned professionals have much to learn from it too. In fresh, readable prose, some of today's leading Shakespeare scholars point up the connections between the plays' distinctive verbal textures and their larger concerns and theatrical effects, rarely touching even the most familiar passages without opening up nuanced and illuminating new readings. These handy, punchy books are absolute master-classes in close reading and interpretation.” – Michael Dobson, Director of the Shakespeare Institute, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Professor of Shakespeare Studies, University of Birmingham, UK

Shakespeare and Theory
Upper Undergraduate and Above
Series Editor: Evelyn Gajowski, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA This series provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical developments that have dominated Shakespeare studies since the advent of postmodernism, as well as those that are emerging at the present moment. Each volume provides a clear definition of a particular theory; explains its key concepts; surveys its major theorists and critics; situates it in the context of contemporary political, social, and economic developments; analyses its significance in Shakespeare studies; and offers a wealth of suggested resources for further investigation.
Shakespeare and Ecocritical Theory Gabriel Egan, Loughborough University, UK Combining the latest scientific and philosophical understanding of humankind's place in the world with interpretative methods derived from other politically inflected literary criticism, ecocriticism is providing new insights into literary works both ancient and modern. With case-study analyses of the tragedies, comedies, histories and the late romances, this book is a wide-ranging introduction to reading Shakespeare in light of contemporary ecocritical theory. UK October 2015 / US October 2015 • 208 pages PB 9781441199300 • £17.99 / $29.95 • HB 9781441145529 • £55.00 / $100.00
Shakespeare and Economic Theory David Hawkes, Arizona State University, USA This book shows how concepts and concerns that were until recently considered purely economic affected the entire range of sixteenth and seventeenth century life. Using the work of such critics as Jean-Christophe Agnew, Douglas Bruster, Hugh Grady and many others, Shakespeare and Economic Theory traces economic literary criticism to its cultural and historical roots, and discusses its main practitioners. Providing new readings of Timon of Athens, King Lear, The Winter’s Tale, The Merchant of Venice, Measure for Measure, the Sonnets, Julius Caesar, Macbeth and The Tempest, David Hawkes shows how it can reveal previously unappreciated qualities of Shakespeare’s work.

Shakespeare and New Historicist Theory Neema Parvini, University of Surrey, UK Over the past three decades, no critical movement has been more prominent in Shakespeare Studies than new historicism. And yet, it remains notoriously difficult to pin down, define and explain, let alone analyze. Shakespeare and New Historicist Theory provides a comprehensive scholarly analysis of new historicism as a development in Shakespeare studies while asking fundamental questions about its status as literary theory and its continued usefulness as a method of approaching Shakespeare’s plays. UK December 2016 / US December 2016 • 208 pages PB 9781474240987 • £18.99 / $29.95 • HB 9781474240994 • £55.00 / $94.00
Shakespeare and Psychoanalytic Theory Carolyn E. Brown, University of San Francisco, USA Although psychoanalytic criticism of Shakespeare is a prominent field of scholarship, the analytic tools, theories, and critics who apply the theories have not been adequately assessed. This book fills that gap. It surveys the psychoanalytic theorists who have had the most impact on Shakespeare studies, clearly explaining the fundamental concepts of their theories, providing concise definitions of key terminology, describing the inception and evolution of different schools of psychoanalysis, and discussing the relationship of psychoanalytic theory (especially in Shakespeare) to other critical theories. It assesses the applicability of the theory to Shakespeare studies and the significance of the resulting readings.

Shakespeare Now!
Undergraduate and Above
Series Editors: Ewan Fernie, The Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, UK and Simon Palfrey, University of Oxford, UK Shakespeare Now! is a series of short books that engage imaginatively and often provocatively with the possibilities of Shakespeare’s plays. It goes back to the source - the most living language imaginable - and recaptures the excitement, audacity and surprise of Shakespeare. It will return you to the plays with opened eyes.
Othello's Secret The Cyprus Problem R M Christofides, Independent Scholar, UK Othello's Secret uncovers the relationship between the play and the conflicts that have torn apart its Cypriot setting, providing a new and powerfully political reading. Exploring the domestic and military anxieties connected by Shakespeare, Christofides highlights the ways in which these issues resonate with current ideological and geographical divisions in Cyprus, divisions rooted in the 16th century struggles to control the island. Challenging the conventional view of Othello as a Venetian play, this book offers a fierce and personal example of how early modern literature can purposefully contribute to even the most complex geopolitical debates.

textbook
Through close readings of a wide range of plays and poems, Kiernan Ryan's compelling polemic sets out to reclaim the idea of Shakespeare's timeless universality from reactionary and radical critics alike. Its argument is driven throughout by the belief that at this moment in history the need to recognise and activate the revolutionary potential of Shakespeare's drama is more urgent than ever.

How can recent theories of cognition inform our understanding of Shakespeare’s characters? Tragic Cognition in Shakespeare’s Othello looks at how such theories can enhance our perception of Iago and Othello, as well as enriching the play’s complex accounts of empathy, intentionality, and tragedy. Paul Cefalu argues that Shakespearean characters raise timely questions about the relationship between cognition and consciousness and often defy our assumptions about “normal” cognition.
This book explores how to achieve innovative approaches to teaching and learning Shakespeare and Marlowe within formal learning systems such as school and university.

Great Shakespeareans
Edited by Russell Jackson, University of Birmingham, UK
Edited by Cary M. Mazer, University of Pennsylvania, USA
In their own distinctive manner, each of the four actors discussed in this volume have had a profound and innovative influence on the methods of Shakespearean performance, and thus on the appreciation and interpretation of his plays. Their careers encompass almost a century of theatrical experience, from John Gielgud’s childhood before the First World War to Judi Dench’s performances in the first decades of the new millennium. The volume affords invaluable insights into changing approaches to the actor’s craft, the aims and methods of the theatre, the institutions presenting productions and, above all, to Shakespeare’s plays themselves.
All four figures in this volume have been canonized as central to ‘stage-centred’ Shakespearean scholarship and stage practice. From William Poel’s reproductions of early modern stages in the late nineteenth century to Sam Wanamaker’s reconstruction of the Globe on London’s South Bank, they all viewed Shakespeare’s plays as being enmeshed in the social and historical dynamics of theatremaking and theatregoing. The volume considers how their attempts to recapture early modern performance conditions can be considered progressive.

Performing King Lear
Anecdotal Shakespeare
Gielgud to Russell Beale
A New Performance History
Jonathan Croall, Theatre Historian
Paul Menzer, Mary Baldwin College, USA
Performing King Lear offers a very different and practical perspective from most studies of the play. It is centred on the reality of creation and performance, as seen through the eyes of today’s leading actors and directors, including Nicholas Hytner, Adrian Noble, David Hare, Kenneth Brannagh, Deborah Warner, Derek Jacobi, Jonathan Miller, Dominic Dromgoole and Simon Russell Beale. Based on over forty unique interviews with those who have staged the play in London, Stratford and elsewhere, the book explores how they have dealt with the formidable challenges involved in interpreting and staging Shakespeare’s great tragedy.
Shakespeare’s performance history is full of anecdotes − ribald, frequently funny, sometimes disturbing, and always but loosely allegiant to fact. Such anecdotes are a vital index to the ways that Shakespeare’s plays have generated meaning across varied times and in varied places. Particular plays have produced particular anecdotes − stories of a real skull in Hamlet, superstitions about the name Macbeth, toga troubles in Julius Caesar – and express something embedded in those plays. Anecdotes constitute a vital component of a play’s performance history and a form of vernacular criticism by the people most involved in their production: actors.

Early Modern Actors and Shakespeare's Theatre Thinking with the Body Evelyn Tribble, University of Otago, New Zealand What skills did Shakespeare’s actors bring to their craft? How do these skills differ from those of contemporary actors? This book examines the ‘toolkit’ of the early modern player and suggests new readings of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries through the lens of their expertise. Evelyn Tribble argues that recapturing a positive account of the abilities of the early modern players will result in a more capacious understanding of the nature of theatricality in the period.

Shakespeare in the Theatre
Undergraduate
Series Editors: Bridget Escolme, University of London, UK, Farah Karim-Cooper, King's College London, UK, Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame, USA Each volume in the Shakespeare in the Theatre series examines a director or theatre company who has made a significant contribution to Shakespeare production and the aesthetic and socio-political contexts of their work. Pointing to the range of people, artistic practices and cultural phenomena that make meaning in the theatre, the series de-centres Shakespeare from within Shakespeare studies, and provides an unrivalled way of perceiving the performance of his work.
Mark Rylance at the Globe Stephen Purcell, University of Warwick, UK Since its opening in the late 1990s, the reconstructed Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre has made an indelible impression on the contemporary British theatre scene. This book explores the theatre’s first decade of productions under the pioneering leadership of Mark Rylance. Drawing upon interviews with key practitioners from the Globe and detailed case studies of notable productions, this book argues that the Rylance era was a groundbreaking and important period of recent theatre history. The book gives a unique insight into Rylance's practice and impact, and will be of interest to anyone studying Shakespeare in performance.

The American Shakespeare Center Paul Menzer, Mary Baldwin College, USA The original Blackfriars closed its doors in the 1640s, ending over half-a-century of performances by men and boys. In 2001, in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, it opened once again. The reconstructed Blackfriars, home to the American Shakespeare Center, represents an old playhouse for the new millennium and therefore symbolically registers the permanent revolution in the performance of Shakespeare. Time and again, the industry refreshes its practices by rediscovering its own history. This book assesses how one American company has capitalised on history and in so doing has become a major influence in contemporary Shakespearean theatre.

Farah Karim-Cooper, Shakespeare's Globe, London, UK This ground-breaking book uncovers the way Shakespeare draws upon the available literature and visual representations of the hand in his time to inform his work. An analysis of gesture, touch, skill and dismemberment in a range of Shakespeare's works, shows how the hand was perceived in Shakespeare’s time as an indicator of human agency, emotion, social and personal identity. This book is about how the hand and its activities are described and embedded in Shakespeare's texts and about its role on the Shakespearean stage: as part of the actor’s body, in the language as metaphor and as a morbid stage-prop.

Ayanna Thompson, The George Washington University, Washington DC & Laura Turchi What does it mean to teach Shakespeare with purpose? It means freeing teachers from the notion that teaching Shakespeare means teaching everything, or teaching “Western Civilisation” and universal themes. Instead, this invigorating new book equips teachers to enable studentcentred discovery of these complex texts, approaching them as vehicles for collaborative exploration in the classroom and releasing them from over-determined interpretations. Written by a renowned Shakespeare scholar and an expert in teacher education, the book blends the most effective approaches from the humanities and the methodologies from the social sciences, and in so doing, liberates and empowers teachers of Shakespeare.

The Politics of Performing Shakespeare for Young People Standing up to Shakespeare Jan Wozniak, University of Leeds, UK This book examines performance projects of Shakespeare’s plays for young people in terms of their value for their young audiences. Using interviews with theatre workers and workshops with young people, the book argues that it is by trusting young people’s experience of performances, rather than promoting a range of predetermined textual understandings of the plays, that they might gain most benefit. It argues that by privileging the meanings young people make of Shakespeare, new and exciting interpretations of his work might be found.

Shakespearean Tragedy: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth
English Renaissance Tragedy
Kiernan Ryan, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
This book's underlying claim is that English Renaissance tragedy addresses live issues in the experience of readers and spectators today: it is not a genre to be studied only for aesthetic or “heritage” reasons. It considers the way in which tragedy in general, and English Renaissance tragedy in particular, addresses ideas of liberty and tyranny, understood both from an individual and a sociopolitical perspective.
"It is impossible to do justice to the compacted richness of Ryan's study…The book is certainly a major contribution to Shakespeare studies." The Times, Review of Shakespeare (1989)

This ground-breaking study reveals the prophetic, revolutionary vision at the heart of Shakespeare’s four greatest tragedies: Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth. Through compelling new readings of the plays, couched in lively, accessible prose and grounded in close analysis of their language and form, Kiernan Ryan transforms our understanding of Shakespearean tragedy by revealing the radical egalitarian perspective from which it is conceived and written.

Law, Testament and Properties of Performance
Visual Culture in Drama
The contributors to this volume propose that Shakespeare was not the poet of nature, but rather that he was a master of rewriting and recreation. Each chapter in this volume begins with a key word or phrase from Shakespeare and builds toward a broader consideration of the social, poetic, and theatrical dimensions of his language. The chapters capture the richness of Shakespeare’s world of words by including discussions of biblical language, Latinity, philosophy of language and subjectivity, languages of commerce, criminality, history, and education, the gestural vocabulary of performance, as well as accounts of verbal modality and metrics.
Gary Watt, University of Warwick, UK
Keir Elam, University of Bologna, Italy
Drawing on years of experience delivering rhetoric workshops for the Royal Shakespeare Company and as a prize-winning teacher of law, Gary Watt demonstrates how Shakespeare transformed lawyers’ manual book rhetoric into powerful drama through a stirring combination of word, metre, movement and physical stage material, producing a mode of performance that was truly testamentary in its power to engage the witnessing public. Published in the 400th anniversary year of Shakespeare’s last will and testament, this is a major contribution to the growing interdisciplinary field of law and humanities.
This is the first full-length study of the role of graphic and iconographic images in Shakespeare referencing performance history throughout. Chapters examine plays in which pictures are brought on stage as part of the dramatic action (Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, The Taming of the Shrew, Twelfth Night, among others); the embedding of images from the popular imagination in the action and discourse of the plays; the dialectic between optical and auditory illusion in the romance or late plays, or "how" the visual is "heard" in the theatre, and the question of perspective in the comedies, especially in Twelfth Night.

Sonnets
2014/2015 Jo Shapcott
We name our years in numbers and behold, I said, this new one hangs ahead, plump and divisible. I poked my cold head round the corner of December, whose bare evenings sang to me of the future, until I could see all 365 days laid out from east to west. A few things stick with me: a sea view, night-time, lights across the by and by, wet, black shapes, perhaps the heads of seals; the Northern Line, glowing with afterworkers – and someone humming, unless the future is a lie; a laptop screen: keystrokes and the words expire, metadata, prism, nourished, homeland, boundless informant. My beloveds, I will see all this and I will leave it, in one order or another, to you.

This study critiques the various representations of the queer – broadly understood as that which is at odds with what has been deemed to be the normal, the legitimate, and the dominant, particularly – but not exclusively – as regards sexual matters, in the Shakespeare film. Analysing the work of directors such as Max Reinhardt, William Dieterle, George Cukor, Franco Zeffirelli, Trevor Nunn, Baz Luhrmann, Michael Hoffman, Michael Radford, Orson Welles, Laurence Olivier and Oliver Parker, the volume presents an alternative and complementary critical history of the Shakespeare film genre.

Scholars from Britain, Australia and New Zealand reflect on the modes of commemoration of Shakespeare in and after the Tercentenary year, 1916, in two hemispheres, arguing that it was at this moment of remembering that ‘global Shakespeare’ first emerged in recognisable, if embryonic, form. A great deal has been forgotten about this key moment in the history of the place of Shakespeare in national and global culture. In addressing this, the book offers new materials and discoveries about, and new interpretations of, those Tercentenary celebrations, reflecting also on the long legacy of those celebrations.

Macbeth, Macbeth Ewan Fernie, University of Birmingham, UK & Simon Palfrey, University of Oxford, UK "Macbeth, Macbeth is as close as one can come to a quantum physics literary criticism - a reading which supplements the explicit text of a classic with the dense network of its 'superposed' states, unmentioned presuppositions and implications. It is an analysis totally faithful to the original and at the same time totally contemporary. A miracle, an instant classic." - Slavoj Žižek An unprecedented creative-critical collaboration between two leading Shakespeareans, Macbeth, Macbeth sparks a whole new world from the embers of Shakespeare's darkest play.
