• 摘要註: This extraordinary collection introduces us to commemorations of Shakespeare in locations and contexts we would never have expected. It shows how he has been deployed as ambassador, warrior, inspiration and 'cultural saint' to boost and create the self-image not only of the British but of other nations too. -Professor Lisa Hopkins, Sheffield Hallam University, UK Designed to offer 'an analytic audit of the field' in the wake of the 2016 Shakespeare quatercentenary commemorations, Memorialising Shakespeare does considerably more than that. It reaches back to ideologically-charged tercentenary ceremonies in British-occupied Egypt in 1916 and to representations of "the Shakespeare-reading soldier" in the Great War before beating a path to more recent commemorative events staged in the Soviet Union in 1964, France in 2014, China in 2016, and myriad other points in between. Concluding with a stunning Afterword by Ton Honselaars that movingly dips back into the trenches of 1916, the book offers deeply informed state-of-the-art assessments of Shakespeare's locations in the here and now of the last one hundred years that will undoubtedly serve as a template for future efforts in kind. -Professor Thomas Cartelli, Muhlenberg College, USA Memorialising Shakespeare is a first-rate contribution to the growing field of Shakespearean cultural memory.

Combining historical analysis with insights into current practice, Memorialising Shakespeare covers Shakespeare commemoration i
