The Cambridge Guide To The Worlds Of Shakespeare Volume 2 Camb Shakespeare Encyclopedia V2

The Cambridge Guide to the Worlds of Shakespeare aims to replicate the expansive reach of Shakespeare's global reputation. In pursuit of that vision, this work is transhistorical, international, and interdisciplinary. "The World's Shakespeare," volume two of the two volume set, presents a four-century survey of how Shakespeare and his works have circulated in the world's cultures. Fourteen sections introduce readers to changes in technologies of performance, popular culture, media history, criticism, and ten other subject areas. For each of the volume's broad subject areas, an overview article is followed by a series of shorter essays taking up particular aspects of the subject at hand. Richly illustrated with more than three hundred images, this book brings the world, life, and afterlife of Shakespeare to readers, from nonacademic Shakespeare fans and students to theater professionals and Shakespeare scholars.
