Beschreibung:
Cary DiPietro is currently a lecturer in English language and literature at Kyoto University. He has published a number of articles on theatre, Shakespeare and Anglo-Irish modernism in academic journels including New Theatre Quarterly, and is one of the contributors of Shakespeare Survey 59(Cambridge University Press, 2006).
Shakespeare and Modernism investigates the variety of ways in which artists and writers in early twentieth-century England engaged with the cultural traditions of Shakespeare as a means of defining and relating what they understood to be their own unique historical experience. DiPietro uncovers the connections and contexts which unite a broad range of cultural practices, from theatrical and book production, including that of Edward Gordon Craig and Harley Granville-Barker, to literary constructions of Shakespeare by high modernists such as T. S. Eliot, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf.
