Product Description

This book offers a timely examination of the relationship between Shakespeare and contemporary digital media. By focusing upon a variety of Shakespearean individuals, groups and communities and their online presence, the book explores the role of popular internet culture in the ongoing adaptation of Shakespeares plays and his general cultural standing. The description of certain performers as Shakespearean is a ubiquitous but often throwaway assessment. However, a study of Shakespearean actors within a broader cultural context reveals much, not only about the mutable face of British culture (popular and highbrow) but also about national identity and commerce. These performers share an online space with the other major focus of the book: the fans and digital content creators whose engagement with the Shakespearean marks them out as more than just audiences and consumers; they become producers and critics. Ultimately, Digital Shakespeareans moves beyond the theatrical history focus of related works to consider the role of digital culture and technology in shaping Shakespeares contemporary adaptive legacy and the means by which we engage with it.
