Shakespeare | Cut: Rethinking cutwork in an age of distraction
Bruce R. Smith (Dean's Professor of English, Dean's Professor of English, University of Southern California)
In distracted times like the present, Shakespeare too has been driven to distraction. Shakespeare | Cut considers contemporary practices of cutting up Shakespeare in stage productions, video games, book sculptures, and YouTube postings, but it also takes the long view of how Shakespeare’s texts have been cut apart in creative ways beginning in Shakespeare’s own time. The book’s five chapters consider cuts, cutting, and cutwork from a variety of angles. Bruce R. Smith’s original analysis is accompanied by twenty-four illustrations, which suggest the multiple media in which cutwork with Shakespeare has been carried out.
