Description

Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice holds a unique place in world culture. This work from Cambridge University Press explores how the iconic character of Shylock has been interpreted across different eras. As Shylock has been viewed as an exotic outsider, a social pariah, a melodramatic villain, or a tragic victim, the play has functioned as a lens for examining images of the Jew throughout history. For the last two hundred years, many stage interpreters, readers, and adapters have been Jews themselves. Their responses are often embedded in various literary, theatrical, and musical works. This text provides a deep look into those historical perspectives and the diverse ways the play continues to be read and performed in dozens of languages.
