This book explores the reasons for this dissemination and reassemblage. Ranging widely over American TV drama, it discusses the use of citations in Westworld and The Wire, demonstrating how they tap into but also transform Shakespeare’s preferred themes and concerns. It then examines the presentation of female presidents in shows such as Commander in Chief and House of Cards, revealing how they are modelled on figures of female sovereignty from his plays. Finally, it analyses the specifically Shakespearean dramaturgy of Deadwood and The Americans. Ultimately, the book brings into focus the way serial TV drama appropriates Shakespeare in order to give voice to the unfinished business of the American cultural imaginary.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: Manchester University PressGenre: Films & TVTopic: Literary CriticismItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 540gRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
