Description

Shakespeare in the Present is a compelling collection of essays by Terence Hawkes that explores presentism as a critical approach to Shakespeare studies. Presentism uses contemporary contexts as a foundation for investigating Shakespeare's works, deliberately beginning with the material present to shape critical inquiry. This book demonstrates how presentist principles can be applied to various aspects of Shakespeare's plays, offering readers fresh perspectives on classic texts. Hawkes concentrates on two significant areas where presentism impacts Shakespearean scholarship, starting with the concept of devolution in British contexts. Published by Routledge as part of the Accents on Shakespeare series, this collection bridges literary theory and practical analysis, making it essential for scholars, students, and theatre professionals seeking to understand how present-day concerns illuminate Shakespeare's enduring relevance.

Key Features

Terence Hawkes presents essays that engage with presentism as a critical method for analysing Shakespeare's dramatic works.

The book applies contemporary contexts as investigative tools, allowing current material conditions to direct scholarly inquiry into Shakespeare's plays.

Routledge publishes this collection as part of the Accents on Shakespeare series, establishing its place within established Shakespearean criticism.

Hawkes examines devolution in British contexts as a primary area where presentist approaches reshape Shakespeare studies.

This essay collection offers practical frameworks for connecting modern concerns to Shakespeare's texts, benefiting academic and theatrical audiences.
