Description

Studying Shakespeare provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the works of William Shakespeare. This single volume covers practical and theoretical aspects of studying Shakespeare, starting with an exploration of why his plays are studied, through discussions of multimedia resources and recent developments in Shakespearean studies. The text places emphasis on contextualising Shakespeare's work within its historical context, as well as exploring debates surrounding his place in the literary canon. The book also considers how historical appropriations of his work have evolved over time, making it a valuable resource for those looking to engage with Shakespeare's plays in a modern context. With extensive reference to various media formats, including film, audio, and digital networks, this guide brings the study of Shakespeare into the 20th century.
