This collection of modern essays by leading figures in the field of Shakespeare scholarship reveals the interplay between contemporary theoretical approaches psychoanalytic, new historicist, feminist and cultural materialist and the study of the play in performance, both in Shakespeare's time and our own. Examining the representation of power, ideology, class, race and gender in a wide range of playtexts and theatrical contexts, the essays explore Shakespeare's performance possibilities in theory and in practice.
