Arden Shakespeare and Theory
provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical developments that have dominated Shakespeare studies in recent years, as well as those that are emerging at the present moment. Each volume provides:
· a clear definition of a particular theory;
· a survey of its major theorists and critics;
· an analysis of its significance in Shakespeare studies;
· a summary of relevant political, social and economic contexts;
· a wealth of suggested resources for further investigation.
Reception Theory provides readers with a unique overview and understanding of the ways in which both audiences and readers have reacted to Shakespeare's works historically and in the present. This study demonstrates how recent emphases on a reader's and a spectator's role in the creation of meaning might allow us to contemplate Shakespeare's work in fresh and often provocative ways. Among the plays included as case studies are
A Midsummer Night's Dream,
Hamlet
,
The Tempest
,
King Lear
and
Henry V
.
Shakespeare and Reception Theory
pays close attention to early modern modes of interaction in the playhouse alongside more recent assumptions that underlie spectating and performing.
