The Oxford Handbook of Shakespearean Tragedy presents fifty-four essays by a range of scholars from all parts of the world. Together these essays offer readers a fresh and comprehensive understanding of Shakespeare tragedies as both works of literature and as performance texts written by aplaywright who was himself an experienced actor. The opening section explores ways in which later generations of critics have shaped our idea of "Shakespearean" tragedy, and addresses questions of genre by examining the playwright's inheritance from the classical and medieval past. The secondsection is devoted to current textual issues, while the third offers new critical readings of each of the tragedies. This is set beside a group of essays that deal with performance history, with screen productions, and with versions devised for the operatic stage, as well as with twentieth andtwenty-first century re-workings of Shakespearean tragedy. The book's final section expands readers' awareness of Shakespeare's global reach, tracing histories of criticism and performance across Europe, the Americas, Australasia, the Middle East, Africa, India, and East Asia. | The Oxford Handbook of Shakespearean Tragedy by Michael Neill, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
