Shakespeare's plays have never had a larger audience than they do in our time. This wide viewing is complemented by modern scholarship, which has verified and elucidated the plays' texts. Nevertheless, Shakespeare's plays continue to be revised. In order to find out how and why he has been rewritten, Ruby Cohn examines modern dramatic offshoots in English, French, and German.Surveying drama intended for the serious theater, the author discusses modern versions of Shakespeare's plays, especially "Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear," and "The Tempest." Although the focus is always on drama, contrast is supplied by fiction stemming from "Hamlet" and essays inspired by "King Lear." The book concludes with an assessment of the influence of Shakespeare on the creative work of Shaw, Brecht, and Beckett.Originally published in 1976.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
