Shakespeare and Cultural Studies: An Overview

Abstract

This essay reviews the past 15 years of scholarship in Shakespeare's cultural afterlife, the ways in which the works of Shakespeare have been used, plundered, recrafted, and reinflected by generations and cultures not Shakespeare's own, what has become recognized as “Shakespearean cultural studies”. While Shakespeare on film has become an established area within the field, the essay assesses criticism of Shakespearean adaptation in a variety of media and examines the evolving area's main premises, concerns, and problems, offering some directions for future study.
