Shakespeare is everywhere, permeating culture at every level; yet it is less well-recognized that culture also permeates Shakespeare.\u00a0Shakespeare &<\/em>\u00a0explores Shakespeare and his work outside the lens of traditional literary studies.

\"ShakespeareVolume 1<\/p>\n

SHAKESPEARE AND STRATFORD<\/a>
\nEdited by Katherine Scheil
\nAfterword by Nicola J. Watson<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The essays in this volume consider the various manifestations of the physical and metaphorical town on the Avon, across time, genre and place, from America to New Zealand, from children\u2019s literature to wartime commemorations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ShakespeareVolume 2 Forthcoming<\/em><\/p>\n

SHAKESPEARE AND COMMEMORATION<\/a>
\nEdited by Clara Calvo and Ton Hoenselaars<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Memory and commemoration play a vital role not only in the work of Shakespeare, but also in the process that has made him a world author. As the contributors of this collection demonstrate, the phenomenon of commemoration has no single approach, as it occurs on many levels, has a long history, and is highly unpredictable in its manifestations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ShakespeareVolume 3 Forthcoming<\/em><\/p>\n

SHAKESPEARE AND THE ARAB WORLD<\/a>
\nEdited by Katherine Hennessey and Margaret Litvin<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ShakespeareVolume 4 Forthcoming<\/em><\/p>\n

SHAKESPEARE AND CREATIVE CRITICISM<\/a>
\nEdited by Rob Conkie and Scott Maisano<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What kinds of critical insights are made possible only or especially via creative strategies? This volume examines how creative modes of writing might facilitate or inform new ways to critically engage with Shakespeare. Creative writing, demonstrated in a series of essays, reflections, stories and scenes, operates as a vehicle for exploring and articulating critical and theoretical ideas. In doing so, Shakespeare\u2019s enduring creative and critical appeal is newly understood and critiqued.<\/p>\n
