Written by international Shakespearians who are also scholars of the Cold War, the essays assembled here consider representative events, productions and performances as cultural politics, international diplomacy and sites of memory, and show how they inform our understanding of the political, economic, even military, dynamics of the post-war global order. The volume explores the political and cultural function of Shakespearian celebration and commemoration, but it also acknowledges the conflicts they generated across the European Cold War ‘theatre’, examining the impact of Cold War politics on Shakespearian performance, criticism and scholarship. Drawing on archival material, and presenting its sources both in their original language and in translation, it offers historically and theoretically nuanced accounts of Shakespeare’s international significance in the divided world of Cold War Europe, and its legacy today. .Global ShakespearesLiterature, ModernLiterature, Modern—20th centuryEuropean literatureBritish literatureEarly Modern/Renaissance Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/817000Twentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000European Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/832000British and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000Literature, Modern.Literature, Modern—20th century.European literature.British literature.Early Modern/Renaissance Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.European Literature.British and Irish Literature.809Sheen Ericaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKarremann Isabeledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255233803321Shakespeare in Cold War Europe2499975UNINA
