Place -- The Grave and the Ghetto: Shakespearean Places as Adaptations -- Fixed Figures: the Other Moors of Venice -- The Prison-House of Italy: Caesar Must Die.Shakespeare’s Italy and Italy’s Shakespeare revisits a classical topic from a new perspective, focusing on Shakespeare’s afterlife in Italy through the lens of place, “race,” and politics. From discussions of a Victorian racialist interpretation of Shakespeare that casts Iago as the archetypal Italian specimen to Fascist appropriations of Shakespeare to Paolo and Vittorio Taviani’s film Caesar Must Die, Shaul Bassi interrogates how Italy explains Shakespeare and how Shakespeare explains Italy. These peripheral events both illuminate singular potentialities of the plays and turn Shakespeare into a special guide to Italy’s ethos and political unconscious.Reproducing Shakespeare,2730-9312European literatureRenaissance, 1450-1600European literatureTheaterHistoryEthnologyEuropeCultureEarly Modern and Renaissance LiteratureEuropean LiteratureTheatre HistoryEuropean CultureEuropean literatureEuropean literature.TheaterHistory.EthnologyCulture.Early Modern and Renaissance Literature.European Literature.Theatre History.European Culture.822.3/3Bassi Shaulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut223279BOOK9910255249203321Shakespeare's Italy and Italy's Shakespeare1576522UNINA
