Shakespeare in America by James Shapiro
Internationally acclaimed Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro presents a first-of-its-kind anthology tracing the rich and surprising story of how Americans made the Bard their own. Through poetry, fiction, essays, plays, memoirs, songs, speeches, letters, movie reviews and comedy routines, Shakespeare's legacy in the U.S is collected here. Contributions come from a remarkable range of American writers and statesmen, from Emerson, Melville, Lincoln and Twain to John Berryman, Cynthia Ozick and Bill Clinton (who wrote a foreword).Since 1985, James Shapiro has been the Larry Miller Professor of English at Columbia University. He has written several works, including 1599 and Contested Will, and has received numerous honors and fellowships. Shapiro is a member of the Folger Shakespeare Library's Board of Governors. With his wife and children, he resides in New York.
