Klappentext zu „The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Embodiment “
The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Embodiment brings together 42 of the most important scholars and writing on the subject today. Extending the purview of feminist criticism, it offers an intersectional paradigm for considering representations of gender in the context of race, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, and religion. In addition to sophisticated textual analysis drawing on the methods of historicism, psychoanalysis, queer theory, and posthumanism, a team of international experts discuss Shakespeare's life, contemporary editing practices, and performance of his plays on stage, on screen, and in the classroom. This theoretically sophisticated yet elegantly written Handbook includes an editor's Introduction that provides a comprehensive overview of current debates.

Pressezitat
the volume's forty-three contributors can trace a feminism whose theoretical and historical concerns intersect with other identity-based critical approaches such as queer theory, critical race theory, disability studies, animal studies, and postcolonial studies, as well as historical phenomenology and the new materialism. As this suggests, the volume makes a particularly urgent and timely contribution to our field. Kevin Curran, Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
