Shakespeare Studies, Volume XLV

Shakespeare Studies is a peer-reviewed volume published annually in hard cover featuring the work of performance scholars, literary critics and cultural historians across the globe. The journal focuses attention primarily on Shakespeare and his contemporaries, but embraces theoretical and historical studies of socio-political, intellectual and artistic contexts that extend well beyond the early modern English theatrical milieu in both space and time. In addition to articles, Shakespeare Studies offers unique opportunities for extended intellectual exchange through its thematically-focused forums, and includes substantial reviews of significant publications. An international Editorial Board of distinguished scholars maintains the quality of each annual volume so that Shakespeare Studies may serve as a reliable resource for all students of Shakespeare and the early modern period for research scholars, certainly, but also for teachers, actors and directors.
