Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Shakespeare is an American institution. Ever since the time of the American Revolution, Shakespeare has been a major figure in the cultural landscape of the United States. He enters into the consciousness of everyone in the culture, whether or not they have read his plays. His works play a central role in American secondary school and university curricula, Shakespeare festivals from New York to Oregon produce a full repertoire of plays for a wide and varied public, and the advertising industry satirizes Romeo, Juliet, and Hamlet, as well as Shakespeare himself. -- In Shakespeare's America, Americas Shakespeare, Michael Bristol explores the nature of the interaction between Shakespeare and American culture. Shakespeare stands at the center of an elaborate institutional reality, closely tied to both cultural and ideological production. His plays, Bristol asserts, help to constitute a primary affirmative theme of much American culture criticism, specifically the celebration of individuality and of the values of expressive autonomy as revealed in the plays. In this book, Bristol provides a critique of contemporary institutions of cultural production, which will command the attention not only of scholars of Shakespeare, but also of anyone interested in American cultural history, and in the broader issues related to contemporary cultural and educational policy debates.
