Texts Waiting for History William Shakespeare Re-Imagined by Heiner Müller Miguel Ramalhete Gomes “This excellently-researched and clearly argued book
will be of interest to any Shakespeareans interested in Müller’s adaptations of
Shakespeare and those who are interested in the pleasures and paradoxes of
rewriting Shakespeare more generally. It combines breadth with depth in an
engaging and thoughtful way and argues for the centrality of Shakespeare to
Müller’s development as a dramatist without suggesting that this is an inevitable
or necessary trajectory. As a comprehensive account of Müller’s transformative
engagement with Shakespeare, it will certainly become a key reference for
future studies of these plays.” -Francesca
Rayner, University of Minho, Portugal in Sederi,
Vol. 25 pp. 207-11 “Gomes manages
to give an extensive and well-written reimagining of Müller’s turn to
Shakespeare as he reworked four of his most widely discussed plays […] Gomes’s
claim to read Müller’s plays as powerful interventions in a complex political
and cultural context is broadly successful. He thereby not only contributes an
important new aspect to scholarship on Müller but has also produced an
excellent general introduction to Müller’s plays.” -Stephan
Ehrig, University of Bristol in Modern Language
Review, Vol. 110.4 2015 pp. 1171-73 |
