| Summary: | Considering the ways in which such Irish writers as Samuel Beckett and W. B. Yeats drew on Shakespearean material in producing their own work, while analyzing Shakespearean influence in both Irish society and its theatrical landscape, essays in this collection explore the history of Irish Shakespeare through the numerous ways in which Shakespeare and his work were reconfigured and recycled into various Irish contexts. Shakespeare in Ireland shows how Shakespeare has been rendered Irish in a variety of complex ways and is an exercise in tracking how Shakespeare becomes a fully hibernicized figure. |
