Shakespeare and Modernism

"Artists and writers in early twentieth-century England engaged in a variety of ways with the cultural traditions of Shakespeare as a means of defining and relating what they understood to be their own unique historical experience. In Shakespeare and Modernism, Cary, DiPietro expands upon the established studies of this field by uncovering the connections and contexts which unite a broad range of cultural practices, from theatrical and book production, including that of Edward Gordon Craig and Harley Granville-Barker, to literary constructions of Shakespeare by high modernists such as T.S. Eliot, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf."--Jacket.
