Shakespeare and Modernity Summary

This fascinating collection traces the ways in which Shakespeare has been reassessed over the years and explores many issues concerning Shakespeare's modernity.

Shakespeare has variously been seen as the last great exponent of pre-modern Western culture, a crucial inaugurator of modernity, and a prophet of postmodernity.
This exciting collection of essays traces the changing reception of Shakespeare over the past four hundred years. Along the way it provides fascinating insights into:
* the nature of individuality, identity, and the self
* the inter-relations of the rise of capitalism, nation-states, and secular culture
* the sexual division of labor and gender identity
* the beginnings of Western colonialism, racism, and anti-Semitism.
This fresh look at Shakespeare's plays is an important contribution to the revival of the idea of 'modernity' and how we periodise ourselves, and Shakespeare, at the beginning of a new millennium.
