Overview

The recreation of the Globe Theatre in London has heightened interest in Shakespeare performance studies. The essays in this volume testify to this burgeoning research into issues surrounding contemporary performances of plays by Shakespeare and his fellow dramatists, as well as modern trends and developments in state and media presentations of these works. International in coverage, the discussion here ranges across the performance and reception of Shakespeare in Japan, India, Germany, Italy, Denmark and the United States, as well as in Britain. Exploring many of the issues in Shakespeare studies, the volume aims to give a global perspective on Renaissance performance and the wide variety of ways in which it has been translated by today's media.
