This wide viewing is complemented by modern scholarship, which has verified and elucidated the plays' texts. Nevertheless, Shakespeare's plays continue to be revised. In order to find out how and why he has been rewritten, Ruby Cohn examines modern dramatic offshoots in English, French, and German. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSurveying drama intended for the serious theater, the author discusses modern versions of Shakespeare's plays, especially \u003ci\u003eMacbeth, Hamlet, King Lear\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e. Although the focus is always on drama, contrast is supplied by fiction stemming from \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e and essays inspired by \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e. The book concludes with an assessment of the influence of Shakespeare on the creative work of Shaw, Brecht, and Beckett. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOriginally published in 1976. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePrinceton Legacy Library\u003c\/b\u003e uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
