play’s contemporaneity, for instance, in its attention to ‘the position of aliens or minorities in a given society’ (p. 197). The problems this cussed play raises ‘can help examine current-day issues of integration and immigration’ (p. 209). This is a varied and engaging set of essays including the encyclopaedically factual and the daringly interpretative. The insistence throughout on the play’s topicality begins to answer the editors’ opening question: ‘Is this a comedy, a tragedy, or something else entirely?’ While the answer to this is probably ‘all of the above’, it is the play’s being ‘something else entirely’, its strange familiarity and its forbidding alterity which allows it to ingratiate itself with its audience as a romantic comedy while leaving them with darker questions about racism, injustice and cruelty.

The 2021 Digital Asian Shakespeare Festival nested within the 11th World Shakespeare Congress in Singapore, ‘where communities of Shakespeare scholars, teachers and practitioners in over 40 countries’ gathered online. Lee Hyon-u, the Festival Director, arranged an astonishing array of Asian performances. Lee wrote of the festival as offering ‘rare opportunities for delegates to enjoy the diversity and depth of Asian Shakespeare while breaking through the barrier of the Covid pandemic’. This article argues that recent Asian Shakespeare productions included in the festival offer inspiration for those staging Shakespeare worldwide as the arts attempt to recover from the pandemic.

This article considers the translation process of Arden of Faversham and the method that I have employed to translate collaborative plays, which is based on Matthew Reynolds's concept of prismatic translation, followed by examples of relevant textual variations found in the three earlier editions of Arden of Faversham as well as in the modern editions. I argue that by preserving textual differences based on different resources, the translation highlights the history of the text. It opens up possibilities accorded by the play's material existence, considering different textual elements, such as the words of the title, playtext, characters, and authorship.

This article questions the commonplace that Edmund Spenser always depicted Philip Sidney as his poetic authoriser by finding undercurrents in works through 1595 and by reading the Mount Acidale scene in the 1596 Faerie Queene as jettisoning Sidney. This study calls into question the accepted version of Spenser’s role in the historical development of Sidney’s image. It demonstrates that Spenser rethought his relationship to Sidney and reimagined himself as a poet. This study also resolves the disjunction between earlier depictions of Sidney as poet and the Sidney-like qualities of the unpoetical Calidore.

This article synthesises historical scholarship on early modern friendship and classical republicanism to argue that Cicero, through the ideal of ‘republican friendship’, exerted a much greater influence over early modern understandings of Roman history than has previously been realised. Exploring Roman plays by William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, with reference to other classical dramas, it examines how dramatists used the Ciceronian ideal of republican friendship to create a historical framework for the political changes they were portraying, with Jonson using it to inform a Tacitean perspective on Roman history and Shakespeare scrutinising and challenging the nature of republican friendship itself.

One of the key points at which Platonism and magic or what could be called ‘Platonic magic’ is found in Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene is in his use of the image of the classical Titan Prometheus. Examining Spenser’s text in light of Renaissance Platonist Giovanni Pico della Mirandola’s writings on magic, we can see that Prometheus serves as a model for Spenser’s tremendous creative ability as a ‘poet magus’. However, an examination of the Promethean qualities of ‘Two Cantos of Mutabilitie’ also reveals that in the final sections of The Faerie Queene Spenser appears to lose hope in the Promethean power of the poet.

This introduction explores the consequences of the digital revolution on the production, distribution, dissemination, and study of Shakespeare on screen. Since the end of the 20th century, the rise (and fall) of the DVD, the digitalisation of sounds and images allowing us to experience and store films on our computers, the spreading of easy filming/editing tools, the live broadcasts of theatre performances in cinemas or on the Internet, the development of online archives and social media, as well as the globalisation of production and distribution have definitely changed the ways Shakespeare on screen is (re)created, consumed, shared, and examined.

This article explores the polysemous intertextuality of Westworld, an example of ‘complex television’, and focuses particularly on its Shakespearean coordinates. In this futuristic show about sentient androids who quote Shakespeare is a deep web of connections to other Shakespeare adaptations in film, digital cultures, and popular music. Through the perspectives of fan studies and media studies, the article argues that what unfolds out of the show’s discourses and those of its fans, who engage with it through digital platforms and technologies, is a micro media history of Shakespeare. In turn, the show advances an understanding of Shakespeare as posthuman.
