Summary

"In close to fifty sessions, the congress theme - "Shakespeare and the Twentieth Century"--Allowed for critical approaches from many directions: through twentieth-century theater history on almost every continent; through a range of media representations from film to databases; through the changing theoretical models of the period that extend to the latest politically inflected readings; and through appropriations of the play-texts by modern art forms such as recent fiction."--Jacket.
