Beskrivning

Based on extensive archival research, Shakespeare in the Victorian Periodicals offers an entirely new perspective on popular Shakespeare reception by focusing on articles published in Victorian periodicals. Shakespeare had already reached the apex of British culture in the previous century, becoming the national poet of the middle and upper classes, but during the Victorian era he was embraced by more marginal groups. If Shakespeare was sometimes employed as an instrument of enculturation, imposed on these groups, he was also used by them to resist this cultural hegemony.

"Prince's book opens up an important and little-investigated terrain for Shakespeare reception studies and demonstrates the key role of periodicals in Shakespeare's wider dissemination during the nineteenth century. It is a useful addition to the existing Shakespeare literature that will be of interest to scholars of Victorian literature, cultural studies, and theatrical history." --Shakespeare Quarterly
