| Abstract
|
:
|
"This study offers a radical reappraisal of a century of Shakespearean theatre in which the efficacy of live performance has been central to modernity's relationship with the plays. From the birth of Elizabethan revivalism amidst the professionalism of the Shakespeare industry at the end of the Victorian period, to the dismantling of the author, works and myth in contemporary postmodern performance, the study charts the shifting contours of staged Shakespeare. In a series of illuminating case studies, Robert Shaughnessy investigates topics such as modernist Shakespearean performance's relation with psychoanalysis, ideas of nationhood and gender in the open stage movement, and the appropriation of Shakespeare himself as a dramatic fiction and theatrical icon. The book will be essential reading for anyone interested in what lies behind, beneath, and beyond the effect we call Shakespeare."--Jacket.
