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
