Book Description:

Informed by debates about high and low culture and drawing upon transdiciplinary methods, this study argues that Shakespeare can now be understood as part of public culture. Thanks to the emergence of mass education in the twentieth century, Albanese argues that Shakespeare has become a shared property, despite the depiction of his texts as "elite" cultural objects in the film industry.
