From paintings to sculptures and manga to street art, Global Shakespeare and Visual Art reveals how Shakespeare’s works and legacy have inspired artists around the world for centuries.
Global Shakespeare and Visual Art explores how William Shakespeare’s works and legacy have inspired artists around the world for centuries. This volume is a series of original studies on the aesthetic presence and interpretation of Shakespeare in such media as book illustrations, digital art, film, graphic novels, manga, portraiture, staged performance, sculpture, and stained glass. Focusing on the global reach of Shakespeare opens up the varied influences of his works on cultures past and present, especially in the context of globalization. By focusing on the contemporary interplay between early modern literature and visual culture, this book offers an inclusive view of intermedial translation and adaptation, coupled with critical explorations of Shakespearean global presence. The varied chapters consider Shakespeare’s plays and poetry in the context of their artistic afterlives, revealing an unparalleled cultural reach and fostering a broader appreciation of Shakespearean impact on global artistic traditions
