About This Book

Unspeakable ShaXXXspeares is a savvy look at the wide range of adaptations, spin-offs, and citations of Shakespeare's plays in 1990s popular culture. Documenting a fascinating array of Shakespearean citations that are so far from their originals that they no longer count as interpretations of the plays. Burt considers what Shakespeare enables American popular culture to do that it couldn't otherwise do without him, and scrutinizes academic fantasies about fandom and stardom.

This book puts Shakespearean studies on the front burner of popular culture.
