Recenzii
A battered Shakespeare annotated by the Robben Island prisoners leads, in David Schalkwyk's hands, to an intriguing meditation on the interplay between Shakespearean texts and the rich field of the South African prison memoir.
At its heart, this is a book about the power of Shakespeare. The context in which we read a play may alter our understanding of it; equally, the play may transform our understanding of the place in which we are. Schalkwyk uses Hamlet as a way to explain the history and political structures of South Africa. Hamlet's Dreams is about the experience of reading Shakespeare in the particular context of Robben Island; but it is equally about the transformative power of great literature.
The ambitious project of the Shakespeare NOW! series is to bridge the gap between 'scholarly thinking and a public audience' and 'public audience and scholarly thinking'. Scholars are encouraged to write in a way accessible to a general readership and readers to rise to the challenge and not be afraid of new ideas and the adventure they offer. There are other bridges the series is ambitious to cross: 'formal, political or theoretical boundaries' - history and philosophy, theory, and performance.
