Book Description:
Shakespeare and the Future of Theory convenes internationally renowned Shakespeare scholars and experts in Early Modern studies to discuss the future of theory in relation to Shakespeare's work. This book brings together cutting-edge research and offers profound reflections on the dialogues between Shakespeare and contemporary theory.

The book presents an interdisciplinary approach to Shakespeare, exploring his works through various theoretical lenses, including design theory, queer theory, psychoanalysis, and the ideas of Derrida and Foucault. This critical collection challenges conventional readings of Shakespeare by emphasizing the relevance of modern theoretical frameworks in understanding his plays.

Originally published as two special issues of English Studies, Shakespeare and the Future of Theory offers a unique and timely contribution to the ongoing discourse surrounding Shakespeare and literary theory.
