Description
This volume contains 11 new papers on Shakespeare written by members of the Department of English at the University of Copenhagen and other Danish universities plus a few international Shakespeare scholars. They fit into an overall theme and are included because they are about Shakespeare -- as text, as theatre, in his age, and through the ages. Beside showing many different ways of thinking and writing about Shakespeare, the eleven articles fall into a pattern if read together in the order they are printed. The papers are varied and wide-ranging: contemporary contexts, tradition, language and style, performance, translation and modern appropriation.
