Shakespeare and the Middle Ages: Essays on the Performance and Adaptation of the Plays with Medieval Sources or SettingsMartha W. Driver, Sid Ray McFarland, 14 мая 2009 г. - Всего страниц: 284 Every generation reinvents Shakespeare for its own needs, imagining through its particular choices and emphases the Shakespeare that it values. The man himself was deeply involved in his own kind of historical reimagining. This collection of essays examines the playwright's medieval sources and inspiration, and how they shaped his works. With a foreword by Michael Almereyda (director of the Hamlet starring Ethan Hawke) and dramaturge Dakin Matthews, these thirteen essays analyze the ways in which our modern understanding of medieval life has been influenced by our appreciation of Shakespeare's plays. |
