18 NEW SHAKESPEARE Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation Margaret Jane Kidnie, University of Western Ontario, Canada Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation presents an engaging exploration of the distinction between the Shakespearean work and its apparent other, the adaptation. Margaret Jane Kidnie brings performance criticism into contact with textual studies to show that the mutually defining categories of work and adaptation are unfixed; the products of ongoing debates, arguments, and desires. Kidnie pursues her argument in relation to instances as diverse as theatrical productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company to Djanet Sears’ prequel to Othello, and from Robert Lepage’s one-man Hamlet to recent print editions of the complete works. These new readings of key productions are accessible as independent analyses, and build up a persuasive picture of the cultural and intellectual processes that currently determine how the authentically Shakespearean is distinguished from the fraudulent and adaptive. 2008: 216x138: 192pp Hb: 978-0-415-30867-0: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-30868-7: £19.99 eBook: 978-0-203-16771-7 NEW Re-playing Shakespeare in Asia Edited by Poonam Trivedi, University of Delhi, India and Ryuta Minami, Aichi University of Education, Japan Series: Routledge Studies in Shakespeare In Re-playing Shakespeare in Asia, leading scholars in the field examine the performance of Shakespeare in Asia.

ORDER NOW! See Order Form in the centre of this catalogue NEW Gothic Shakespeares Edited by John Drakakis and Dale Townshend, University of Stirling, UK Series: Accents on Shakespeare Shakespeare was both influenced by and influential in the rise of Gothic forms in literature and culture from the late eighteenth century onwards. Shakespeare’s plays are full of ghosts, suspense, fear-inducing moments and cultural anxieties which many writers in the Gothic mode have since emulated, adapted and appropriated. The contributors to this volume consider: • Shakespeare’s relationship with popular Gothic fiction of the eighteenth century • how, without Shakespeare as a point of reference, the Gothic mode in fiction and drama may not have developed and evolved in quite the way it did • the ways in which the Gothic engages in a complex dialogue with Shakespeare, often through the use of quotation, citation and analogy • the extent to which the relationship between Shakespeare and the Gothic requires a radical reappraisal in the light of contemporary literary theory, as well as the popular extensions of the Gothic into many modern modes of representation. In Gothic Shakespeares, Shakespeare is considered alongside major Gothic texts and writers – from Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis and Mary Shelley, up to and including contemporary Gothic fiction and horror film. This volume offers a highly original and truly provocative account of Gothic reformulations of Shakespeare, and Shakespeare’s significance to the Gothic.

Henderson, MIT, Massachusetts, USA Series: New Accents This volume takes up the challenge embodied in its predecessors, Alternative Shakespeares and Alternative Shakespeares 2, to identify and explore the new, the changing and the radically ‘other’ possibilities for Shakespeare Studies at our particular historical moment. Alternative Shakespeares 3 introduces the strongest and most innovative of the new directions emerging in Shakespearean scholarship – ranging across performance studies, multimedia and textual criticism, concerns of economics, science, religion and ethics – as well as the ‘next step’ work in areas such as postcolonial and queer studies that continue to push the boundaries of the field. The contributors approach each topic with clarity and accessibility in mind, enabling student readers to engage with serious ‘alternatives’ to established ways of interpreting Shakespeare’s plays and their roles in contemporary culture. The expertise, commitment and daring of this volume’s contributors shine through each essay, maintaining the progressive edge and real-world urgency that are the hallmark of Alternative Shakespeares. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars of Shakespeare who seek an understanding of current and future directions in this ever-changing field. 2007: 198x129: 320pp Hb: 978-0-415-42332-8: £65.00 Pb: 978-0-415-42333-5: £18.99 NEW Teaching Reading Shakespeare John Haddon Teaching Reading Shakespeare is concerned with what other resources on Shakespeare tend to leave out.
