Shakespeare in a Divided America: What His Plays Tell Us about Our Past and Future by James Shapiro

4.0

I found the accounts of how and where Shakespeare has been performed in the US as interesting (or maybe more) as the author’s examination of what these performances or the texts meant in the various periods of US history—which mostly seemed to highlight how deeply messed up we have always been and yet how we still continue on as a country and Shakespeare’s words still resonate with us.
