Inhaltsangabe

This second edition of The Merchant of Venice - Shakespeare's most frequently performed comedy - retains M. M. Mahood's text and Introduction and features a new introductory section by Charles Edelman. Mahood explores audience expectations while Edelman focuses on stage productions of the late twentieth century and the troubling figure of Shylock.

Críticas:

'The introduction and commentary reveal an author with a lively awareness of the importance of perceiving the play as a theatrical document, one which comes to life, which is completed only in performance.' The Review of English Studies

Reseña del editor:

In a substantial new section, Charles Edelman focuses on the play's sexual politics and recent scholarship on the position of Jews in Shakespeare's time. He surveys the international scope of theatrical interpretations of The Merchant in the 1980s and 1990s and different ways of tackling the troubling figure of Shylock.
