摘要:This text focuses on the reciprocal relationship between past and present, the way Shakespeare talks to us, the ways in which we talk about Shakespeare, and the way in which Shakespeare, ultimately, is "all talk". Through a variety of approaches to Shakespeare (including Shakespeare in his time, Shakespeare in our time, film, race, history and the future) the book looks at how Shakespeare is "talked about" in the fields of English studies, performance studies and cultural studies.
