Routledge Handbook of Shakespeare and Memory

"The Routledge Handbook of Shakespeare and Memory introduces this vibrant field of study to students and scholars, whilst defining and extending critical debates in the area. Mapping memory in key areas of Shakespeare studies - theatre, genre, history, gender, print culture, new media, cognition and performance - the volume then goes on to look at the role of memory in individual plays. The international range of contributors explore the nature of memory in religious, political, erotic and economic terms which are not only relevant to Shakespearean times, but to the way we think and read now" --
