About the Book The Shakespearean World takes a global view of Shakespeare and his works, especially their afterlives. Constantly changing, the Shakespeare central to this volume has acquired an array of meanings over the past four centuries. "Shakespeare" signifies the historical person, as well as the plays and verse attributed to him. It also signifies the attitudes towards both author and works determined by their receptions. Throughout the book, specialists aim to situate Shakespeare's world and what the world is because of him. In adopting a global perspective, the volume arranges thirty-six chapters in five parts:

• Shakespeare on stage internationally since the late seventeenth century;

• Shakespeare on film throughout the world;

• Shakespeare in the arts beyond drama and performance;

• Shakespeare in everyday life;

• Shakespeare and critical practice.
