| Summary |
"Shakespeare and Canada: Remembrance of Ourselves captures the state of Canadian scholarship on Shakespeare at a pivotal historical moment, when events around the world are commemorating the four-hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare's death and the beginning of his remarkable afterlife. Covering the Stratford Festival, the cult CBC television program Slings and Arrows, major Canadian critics such as Northrop Frye and Marshall McLuhan, the influential acting teacher Neil Freiman, the rise of Quebecois and First Nation approaches to Shakespeare, and Shakespeare's place in secondary schools today, this collection reflects the diversity and energy of that afterlife in Canada. Collectively, they suggest that Shakespeare continues to offer Canadians "remembrance of ourselves." While the essays in this volume are about diverse topics, together they reflect the state of Shakespeare's reception, performance, and reputation in Canada. The individual stories Canadians tell about Shakespeare, Daniel Fischlin reminds us in the closing essay, are always, but never only, about ourselves."-- Provided by publisher. |
