"Hodgdon's work should be required reading for anyone concerned with Shakespeare's cultural capital at the end of the twentieth century."—South Atlantic Review
Barbara Hodgdon is Ellis and Nelle Levitt Professor of English at Duke University and author of The End Crowns All: Closure and Contradiction in Shakespeare's History.
"A wonderfully high-spirited and illuminating book. Looking at everything from Shakespeare souvenirs to the U.S. news media's reading of O.J. Simpson as Othello, Hodgdon trenchantly examines the myriad ways in which 'Shakespeare' is perpetually rewritten through the performances and practices by which his name and texts circulate in culture."--Jean E. Howard, Columbia University "Hodgdon's work should be required reading for anyone concerned with Shakespeare's cultural capital at the end of the twentieth century."--South Atlantic Review
