This Companion explores the remarkable variety of forms that
Shakespeare''s life and works have taken over the course of four
centuries, ranging from the early modern theatrical marketplace to
the age of mass media, and including stage and screen performance,
music and the visual arts, the television serial and popular prose
fiction. The book asks what happens when Shakespeare is
popularized, and when the popular is Shakespeareanized; it queries
the factors that determine the definitions of and boundaries
between the legitimate and illegitimate, the canonical and the
authorized and the subversive, the oppositional, the scandalous and
the inane. Leading scholars discuss the ways in which the plays and
poems of Shakespeare, as well as Shakespeare himself, have been
interpreted and reinvented, adapted and parodied, transposed into
other media, and act as a source of inspiration for writers,
performers, artists and film-makers worldwide.
