Description

Book Synopsis
This study examines the profound changes that twentieth-century performance has wrought on Shakespeare’s complex drama of war and politics. What was accepted at the turn of the century as a patriotic celebration of a national hero has emerged in the modern theatre as a dark and troubling analysis of the causes and costs of war.
