Description

Shakespeare and Venice is the first comprehensive book-length study to examine how the mythology of Venice, constructed during the Middle Ages, persisted through fiction and film into modern times. Graham Holderness explores Shakespeare's strategic use of Venetian mythology to investigate themes of conversion, change, and metamorphosis in his works. The book identifies and documents the historical materials about Venice that would have been accessible to Shakespeare, providing a thorough examination of both historical and contemporary Venetian myths. Holderness traces the city's complex relationships with Judaism and Islam, offering scholars and students of Renaissance literature a detailed analysis of how a geographic location became a cultural symbol in early modern drama and imagination.
