Abstract
Shakespeare’s Hamlet in an Era of Textual Exhaustion examines how postmodern audiences continue to reengage with Hamlet in spite of our culture’s oversaturation with this most canonical of texts. Combining adaptation theory and performance theory with examinations of avantgarde performances and other unconventional appropriations of Shakespeare’s play, this volume examines Shakespeare’s Hamlet as a central symbol of our era’s “textual exhaustion,” a state in which the reader/ viewer is bombarded by text—printed, digital, and otherwise.
