A propos de cet article

Hardcover. Richard Wilsons meticulously researched, powerfully argued and brilliantly written account of Shakespeares 20th-century fascist followers is not just an important but a genuinely essential book. Robert Shaughnessy, Guildford School of Acting, UKIn this illuminating book Richard Wilson demonstrates how in the 20th century Shakespeares plays and poems were persistently misread as documents which voiced the fascist sympathies of their author. Wilson argues that the version of Shakespeare this caricature produced authoritarian, jingoistic, racially intolerant, misogynistic was viewed with satisfaction by many of the leading figures of the centurys cultural establishment in Britain and America, while noting striking cases of the same bias in Germany and France.Some of the names this book focuses on will surprise: many of the right-wing political views or leanings of the prominent figures discussed have been left unexplored or ignored: from A. K. Chesterton, who was both editor of the British Union of Fascists newspaper Blackshirt and former manager of press and publicity at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, to celebrated Shakespeareans such as G. Wilson Knight and writers, artists and theatre practitioners including W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Edward Gordon Craig and Marshall McLuhan. At a time when democracy is under threat, populism is on the rise and far right views are increasingly prominent in our political discourse, Richard Wilsons book makes an especially vital contribution to Shakespeare scholarship. This illuminating book demonstrates how in the 20th century Shakespeare and his plays were subjected to a sustained institutionalized misreading, which served the purposes of proto-, present and future fascism.
