Abstract:

"Shakespeare and Crisis: One hundred years of Italian narratives" explores how
Shakespeare intervened in the Italian socio-political and cultural scene
between his third and fourth centenaries, at times which were manifestly
perceived as ‘critical’. It asks which complex mythopoietic processes
contributed to shaping regimes of reading Shakespeare in response to those
times of crisis. Crises of national identity during the Great War and the
Fascist regime, crises of history in the 1970s, and crises of representation
in the second half of the twentieth century extending into the new millennium
constitute the three main areas of a discussion that ultimately aims at
probing into the role of literature at times of crisis. The volume situates
itself at the juncture of European Shakespeare studies and studies of
Shakespeare and Italy. It addresses essential questions about the position of
literature in society, offering at different levels new insights for scholars,
students, and the general reader.
