Revisiting Shakespeare’S Italian Resources Memory And Reuse | Literature

Revisiting Shakespeare’s Italian Resources is about the complex dynamics of transmission and transformation of the Italian sources of twelve Shakespearean plays from The Two Gentlemen of Verona to Cymbeline. It focuses on the works of Sir Giovanni Fiorentino Da Porto Bandello Ariosto Dolce Pasqualigo and Groto as well as on commedia dell’arte practices. This book discusses hitherto unexamined materials and revises received interpretations disclosing the relevance of memorial processes within the broad field of intertextuality vis-à-vis conscious reuses and intentional practices. |Revisiting Shakespeare’s Italian Resources Memory and Reuse | Literature
