"The first edited collection to explore Shakespeare's life on modern stage and screen. Focusing on the years 1998-2023, it identifies a 25-year trend for depicting Shakespeare and his contemporaries in theatre, film and television. Exploring continuities and changes in the form since the release of Shakespeare in Love, it traces these developments through the 21st century. With contributions from scholars and practitioners across multiple disciplines, and addressing topics including gender, nation, parody and performance, the collection presents a diverse account of Shakespearean biofiction"--
