Summary

Shakespeare and Genreprovides a comprehensive survey of approaches to key issues related to genre in Shakespeare's work. Contributors probe deeply into genre theory and history by relating Renaissance conceptions of these ideas to contemporary ones. This stimulating volume proposes to read Shakespeare through genre and, just as importantly, read genre through Shakespeare.

Author Biography

Anthony R. Guneratne teaches the cultural history of film and its relation to other artistic media at Florida Atlantic University. He is the author of Shakespeare, Film Studies, and the Visual Cultures of Modernity, the editor of Rethinking Third Cinema and has written extensively on contemporary representations of the Renaissance, the literature of postcoloniality and globalization, world cinema, and the representation of history in visual media.

Table of Contents

'Shakespeare and Genre focuses readers not only on the methods Shakespeare employed in approaching genre, but also on how our own generic conditioning influences our ability to describe and understand those methods. The line-up of contributors here is stunning. In bringing together scholars interested in how Shakespeare writes/adapts genres and how Shakespearean genres are conceived and re-adapted, this anthology performs work that simply has not been done before.' - Greg Semenza, professor, University of Connecticut

'Genre is an unavoidable topic for anyone interested in Shakespeare and is still one of the central issues in literary criticism. With the help of some of the most distinguished scholars in the fields of Shakespeare, linguistics, performance, film and media studies, Guneratne has produced an incisive, provocative and very rich book. Exploring the borderlands between aesthetic forms, Shakespeare and Genre is also a rare achievement because of its comprehensive approach, which allows the early modern to enter into illuminating dialogue with the postmodern.' - Jean-Christophe Mayer, Senior Research Fellow, French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS)
