Spectral Shakespeares is an illuminating exploration of recent, experimental adaptations of Shakespeare on film, TV, and the web. Drawing on adaptation studies and media theory as well as Jacques Derrida's work, this book argues that these adaptations foreground a cluster of self-reflexive "themes" - from incorporation to reiteration, from migration to addiction, from silence to survival - that contribute to the redefinition of adaptation, and Shakespearean adaptation in particular, as an unfinished and interminable process. The "Shakespeare" that emerges from these adaptations is a fragmentary, mediatized, and heterogeneous presence, a spectral Shakespeare that leaves a mark on our contemporary mediascape.

This book is about Shakespeare’s role in sustaining the antiblack paradigm of modernity. This work re-reads both Shakespearean texts and performances from the 16th century to the present to argue that American and English societies have deployed Shakespeare for four hundred years as a mechanism to construct and reinforce paradigmatic antiblackness. Framed within the author’s experiences as a Black scholar, actor, and director of Shakespeare and using both contemporary Critical Race Theory (CRT), as well as Pre-Modern Critical Race Studies (PCRS), this book uses civil society’s engagement with and performance of Shakespeare in various times and places to reveal the continuum of antiblackness that predates chattel slavery in America and contributes to antiblack world-making across oceans and centuries.

In April of 2021, a small theatre in Philadelphia took a big risk: The Wilma premiered a new play called Fat Ham by a then-almost-unknown playwright, James Ijames. Fat Ham reconfigures the story of Hamlet through the lens of a family barbeque in the American South. In Ijames’ play, Shakespeare’s protagonist becomes a fat, queer, Black man named Juicy. Juicy’s mother has just married his uncle in the wake of his father’s murder and Juicy himself is still dealing with grief about these events and the generational trauma they amplify as he strives for some thread of hope. The play made big waves; Ijames won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and it was nominated for five Tony awards in 2023.Fat Ham represents a major intervention in the ways we discuss storytelling, adaptation, and canon as it reclaims a major piece of cultural capital for several intersections of marginalized voices. This collection of essay offers perspectives on the play’s early life as well as creates a major theoretical framework for future discussions of Fat Ham in scholarship.The essays featured in Revenge is Mad Hard: Fat Ham and the Question of Cultural Reclamation address the intersecting themes of Adaptation, Performance, Identity, and Southerness. Each of these sections work to more fully specify and develop the themes of Fat Ham in the greater sphere of literary and performance studies.

Adapting The Tempest: Explorations in Ecophenomenology examines five female-authored novelizations of The Tempest, showing how they engage the play in a spirit of transgressive dialogism. A major through-line linking each chapter is the articulation of an updated self, one that encompasses the biological and the psychological. Philosopher Thomas Metzinger’s lucid theorization of selfhood seeds this study’s approach. A dedicated materialist, Metzinger nonetheless addresses the interiorizing that defines humanness. This book extends Metzinger’s theories by arguing for ecophenomenology, which harmonizes awareness of humans’ embedment in the world with the storytelling and reflective consciousness that define our species. Re-reading The Tempest in tandem with the five novels demonstrates the benefits of an ecophenomenological approach to selfhood.

This book examines Shakespeare’s afterlives in European cinema. It offers a series of comparative studies analysing Shakespeare films in light of common myths perceived to constitute European identity. With the Second World War as a starting point, the book focuses on how Shakespeare is mobilized in films that address the moments in recent European history when those myths came under most intense scrutiny: the Holocaust, the sexual revolution, the post-Fordist transition to a consumerist society, the fragmentation of the Yugoslav Federation, the European debt crisis, and the contemporary increase in xenophobic attitudes giving rise to the resurgence of the far right.From forgotten adaptations such as Jiří Weiss’s Romeo, Juliet and Darkness, to canonical films like Ingmar Bergman’s Persona, the book examines European filmic Shakespeare as a transnational and intermedial category by considering not just adaptations but also films that allude to, reference or evoke the playwright. As such, it constitutes the first sustained critical account of Shakespeare’s place in European cinema.

The figure of Shakespeare—indeed, the idea of Shakespeare—is regularly invoked in the writing of Henry James, filled as it is with echoes and quotations from the plays. In Henry James and the Example of Shakespeare: The Heir of Invention the playwright emerges in James’s characterization (fictional and critical) as an exemplary observer of complex humanity, a practitioner of scenic and dramatic form and a national figure prone to public curiosity. While the biographical Shakespeare remains necessarily obscure, his plays proved accessible, their protagonists, themes and scenic forms offering James enduring models of performance and narrative. Demonstrating his distinctive critical voice, the novelist proves himself committed to the plays as texts as well as vehicles for performance. Aside from his unassailable status as artist for James, Shakespeare also marked his introduction—a form of initiation—into the complexity of European heritage. In his appreciation of less traditional Victorian performance practices (illustrated, for instance, in the visits of Italian actors), James showed unusual flexibility in engaging with both European and American cultural traditions.

This essay collection addresses the paradox that something may at once “be” and “not be” Shakespeare. This phenomenon can be a matter of perception rather than authorial intention: audiences may detect Shakespeare where the author disclaims him or have difficulty finding him where he is named. Douglas Lanier’s “Shakespearean rhizome,” which co-opts Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of artistic relations as rhizomes (a spreading, growing network that sprawls horizontally to defy hierarchies of origin and influence) is fundamental to this exploration. Essays discuss the fine line between “Shakespeare” and “not Shakespeare” through a number of critical lenses—networks and pastiches, memes and echoes, texts and paratexts, celebrities and afterlives, accidents and intertexts—and include a wide range of examples: canonical plays by Shakespeare, historical figures, celebrities, television performances and adaptations, comics, anime appropriations, science fiction novels, blockbuster films, gangster films, Shakesploitation and teen films, foreign language films, and non-Shakespearean classic films.
