Shakespeare and Marx
by Gabriel Egan
"This book explores the past and continuing influence of Marx on interpretations of Shakespeare. Marx's ideas about cultural production and its relation to economic production are explained, together with the standard terminology and concepts such as base/superstructure, ideology, commodity fetishism, alienation, and reification. The influence of Marx's ideas on the theory and practice of Shakespeare criticism and performance is traced from the Victorian age to the present day. The continuing importance of these ideas is illustrated via new Marxist readings of King Lear, Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice, Timon of Athens, The Comedy of Errors, All's Well that Ends Well, and The Winter's Tale."--Jacket.
