Sommario/riassunto

Hamlet stands as a high water mark of canonical art, yet it has equally attracted rebels and experimenters, those avant-garde writers, dramatists, performers, and filmmakers who, in their adaptations and appropriations, seek new ways of expressing innovative and challenging thoughts in the hope that they can change perceptions of their own world. This partially explains the uncanny ability of Shakespeare's Hamlet to be "ever-now, ever-new."

Sommario/riassunto

From Mummers to Madness surveys the evolution of popular music in England from the mid-Georgian to mid-Elizabethan years. It considers the major socio-economic and technological developments that impacted profoundly on the production and consumption of music, and seeks to explain how popular music both shaped and responded to these changes.
