Shakespeare and Ireland

History, Politics, Culture

Herausgegeben: Burnett, Mark Thornton; Wray, Ramona

Beschreibung

Shakespeare and Ireland examines the complex relationship between the most celebrated icon of the British establishment and Irish literary and cultural traditions. Addressing Shakespearean representations of Ireland as well as Irish writers' responses to the dramatist, it ranges widely across theatrical performances, pedagogical practices, editorial undertakings and political developments. The writings of Joyce, Heaney and Yeats are considered, in addition to recent nationalist discourses. In so doing, the collection establishes the multiple 'Shakespeares' and competing 'Irelands' that inform the Irish imagination.

Autor

Kenneth G. Henshall is Professor of Japanese Studies at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, and has taught at the University of California, Berkeley.
