Summary/Abstract: The present volume is a revisitation of the great Elizabethan playwright whose immortality in the world of letters and performance is an undeniable fact. Ioana Petcu’s collection of essays tackles his most important plays under all their aspects, inviting the reader to see all the movies and performances available, as well as the ones to be released, with a critical eye. Moreover, one is compelled to go back to the reading of the plays, either in original or translation for the Barthesian pleasure of the text and (re)discovery of facts that have perhaps been forgotten.
