Description

Exploring Shakespeare’s religious afterlives, this volume examines how Shakespeare’s works have been translated, interpreted, and adapted across diverse cultural and religious contexts. It analyses unexplored nineteenth-century Swedish translations of Shakespeare’s works that reflect the interrelation between the sacred and the secular at work at the time in the Swedish education system. It also looks into Spanish translations of biblical intertexts in Richard II, and explores stage and film adaptations of Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth from a religious standpoint, reads King Lear from a Buddhist perspective, and shows how the play is adapted and turned into a religious experience by students in Flint, Michigan.

Marta Cerezo is Professor of English at the UNED (National University of Distance Education, Spain) where she teaches BA and MA level courses on Medieval and Renaissance Literature. Her area of research is devoted to Shakespeare and religion and, most especially, Shakespeare commemorative sermons delivered at Holy Trinity Church (Stratford-upon-Avon) since the nineteenth century.
