Back Shakespeare in America: An Anthology from the Revolution to Now

Shakespeare in America: An Anthology from the Revolution to Now

Foreword by President Bill Clinton More
Edited by James Shapiro

“I think Americans will be fascinated to learn of our deep and early connection to the Bard, how he inspired presidents and incited mobs, and how vivid the legacy of one Englishman’s imagination still sits within the consciousness of our country. Like Shakespeare’s own plays, this anthology is full of enthralling stories and weird coincidences, and it’s a treasure.”—Meryl Streep
