Modernist writers, critics, and artists sparked a fresh and distinctive interpretation of Shakespeare's plays which has proved remarkably tenacious, as Richard Halpern explains in this lively and provocative book. The preoccupations of such high modernists as T. S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis, and James Joyce set the tone for the critical reception of Shakespeare in the twentieth century. Halpern contends their habits of thought continue to dominate postmodern schools of criticism that claim to have broken with the modernist legacy. Halpern addresses such topics as imperialism and modernism's cult of the primitive, the rise of mass culture, modernist anti-semitism, and the aesthetic of the machine. His discussion considers figures as diverse as Orson Welles and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Shakespeare critics including Northrop Frye, Cleanth Brooks, Stephen Greenblatt, and Stanley Cavell. Shakespeare's works have been subjected to a continuing process of historical reinterpretation in which every new era has imposed its own cultural and ideological presuppositions on the plays. The most enduring contribution of modernism, Halpern suggests, has been the juxtaposition of an awareness of historical distance and a mapping of Shakespeare's plays onto the present. Using modernist themes and approaches, he constructs new readings of four Shakespeare plays.

Every epoch recreates its classical icons--and for literary culture no icon is more central or more protean than Shakespeare. Even though finding the authentic Shakespeare has been a goal of scholarship since the eighteenth century, he has always been constructed as a contemporary author. In this critical study, Grady charts the construction of Shakespeare as a twentieth-century text, redirecting "new historicist" methods to an investigation of the social roots of contemporary Shakespeare criticism. Beginning with the formation of professionalism as an ideology in the Victorian Age, this theoretically-informed study describes widespread attempts to save the values of the cultural tradition, in reformulated Modernist guise, from the threat of professionalist postivism in modern universities.

This in-depth collection of essays traces the changing reception of Shakespeare over the past four hundred years, during which time Shakespeare has variously been seen as the last great exponent of pre-modern Western culture, a crucial inaugurator of modernity, and a prophet of postmodernity. This fresh look at Shakespeare's plays is an important contribution to the revival of the idea of 'modernity' and how we periodise ourselves, and Shakespeare, at the beginning of a new millennium.

This little book provides an insightful reading of Shakespeare. Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka highlights this in his foreword, where he says:"... Ismail Serageldin has chosen to focus, in the main, on what he astutely discerns as uncomfortable threads in most (European) analyses of Shakespeare's plays: the themes of marginalization, and-to put it bluntly-racism. Focussing especially on two plays that illuminate this region of understated themes, he restores the focus of race and prejudice to a rounded reading of the texts, and does justice to the English bard regarding his own position, much misunderstood, on these questions".Serageldin devotes half the book to a review of the various "schools" of literary criticism that have tackled the Bard's immortal works. He looks at the Classical Interpretations, the Political Neo-Marxist School, The New Historicists, The Feminist Critique, the Deconstructionists and Post-Structuralists, as well as some other schools. He declares himself most in keeping with Kiernan Ryan's critique. But then he goes on to presenting his own views applying his insights in analyzing two plays: a comedy (the Merchant of Venice) and a tragedy (Othello). Highlighting in both cases the themes of Marginalization and Racism, that tend to be at best relegated to the background in most of the established (European) critiques. In so doing he fulfils the promise of the title, that there is a contemporary modernity in the writings of Shakespeare that speak to us through the ages.

The unique nature of the treatment of Shakespeare during Russian literary modernism consisted in the Shakespearean text being allowed to become a full-fledged participant in a dialogue between cultures. Shakespeare's works proved to function both as litmus paper bringing out the pivotal characteristics of Russian modernist poetry and simultaneously as a catalyst accelerating literary innovation."--Jacket.

It encompasses many different aspects of the Bard’s oeuvre, and thus explores various interpretative possibilities of the texts under scrutiny. The freshness of this book also lies in the fact that it deals with comparative analyses of both Shakespeare and his contemporaries, as well as in the fact that it emphasises the playwright’s relevance today. All the contributors to this volume are distinguished scholars and academicians with extensive experience of teaching and writing on Shakespeare.
