Stephen Gosson’s The Schoole of Abuse and the Representation of Masculinity
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Nordic Journal of English Studies. - Karlstad : University of Gothenburg. - 1502-7694 .- 1654-6970. ; 19:4, s. 26-36, s. 25-35

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This essay examines the representation of masculinity in Stephen Gosson’s anti-theatrical pamphlet The schoole of abuse (1579). Discussing the author’s self-presentation in the prefatory material and elsewhere in the text, the essay investigates the often contradictory and defensive authorial persona and compares it to Gosson’s dedicatee Sir Philip Sidney’s rhetoric of self-presentation in his Defence of Poesy, as well as to Gosson’s own, later pamphlet Playes confuted in fiue actions (1582). The basic result of the discussion is that Gosson’s pamphlet has a conflicted relation to early modern notions of manhood; more specifically, the essay concludes, Gosson’s attacks on poetry and theatre as ‘effeminate’ are conveyed through an authorial persona that itself comes across as excessive, licentious and less than manly by early modern standards.

Changing Satire : Transformations and Continuities in Europe, 1600–1830
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This edited collection brings together literary scholars and art historians, and maps how satire became a less genre-driven and increasingly visual medium in the seventeenth through the early nineteenth century. Changing satire demonstrates how satire proliferated in various formats, and discusses a wide range of material from canonical authors like Swift to little known manuscript sources and prints. As the book emphasises, satire was a frame of reference for well-known authors and artists ranging from Milton to Bernini and Goya. It was moreover a broad European phenomenon: while the book focuses on English satire, it also considers France, Italy, The Netherlands and Spain, and discusses how satirical texts and artwork could move between countries and languages. In its wide sweep across time and formats, Changing satire brings out the importance that satire had as a transgressor of borders.

Disseminating Shakespeare in the Nordic Countries : Shifting Centres and Peripheries in the Nineteenth Century
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Charting the early dissemination of Shakespeare in the Nordic countries in the 19th century, this opens up an area of global Shakespeare studies that has received little attention to date. With case studies exploring the earliest translations of Hamlet into Danish; the first translation of Macbeth and the differing translations of Hamlet into Swedish; adaptations into Finnish; Kierkegaard's re-working of King Lear, and the reception of the African-American actor Ira Aldridge's performances in Stockholm as Othello and Shylock, it will appeal to all those interested in the reception of Shakespeare and its relationship to political and social conditions.The volume intervenes in the current discussion of global Shakespeare and more recent concepts like 'rhizome', which challenge the notion of an Anglocentric model of 'centre' versus 'periphery'. It offers a new assessment of these notions, revealing how the dissemination of Shakespeare is determined by a series of local and frequently interlocking centres and peripheries, such as the Finnish relation to Russia or the Norwegian relation with Sweden, rather than a matter of influence from the English cultural sphere.

Introduction : Hamlet and the Nordic Countries

Ingår i: Critical Survey. - : Berghahn Journals. - 0011-1570 .- 1752-2293. ; 35:4, s. 1-9

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The story of Shakespeare's Nordic play is also, inevitably, one of cultural exchanges before, during and after the early modern period. From its origins in Nordic tradition to its re-introduction in the Nordic countries through Shakespeare's play, the story of Hamlet from the Middle Ages to the present is inextricably bound up with Nordic history and culture. In tracing some of these links, this special issue develops our recent work on the early dissemination of Shakespeare in the Nordic countries, focusing here on that most Nordic of plays, Hamlet. Although there is already a great deal of criticism on Hamlet in various national or regional contexts, very little of this has focused on the Nordic countries.1 It is therefore fitting, we believe, to provide a necessarily brief outline of the rich and varied history that Shakespeare's play has had in Northern Europe.

Reconstructing Shakespeare in the Nordic Countries : National Revival and Interwar Politics, 1870 – 1940
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Examining the changing reception of Shakespeare in the Nordic countries between 1870 and 1940, this follow-up volume to Disseminating Shakespeare in the Nordic Countries focuses on the broad movements of national revivalism that took place around the turn of the century as Finland and Norway, and later Iceland, were gaining their independence. A number of contributions demonstrate how translations and productions of Shakespeare were key in such movements, as Shakespeare was appropriated for national and political purposes. Other contributions discuss how the role of Shakespeare in the Nordic countries was partly transformed in the 1920s and 1930s as a new social system emerged, and then as the rise of fascism meant that European politics cast a long shadow on the Nordic countries and substantially affected the reception of Shakespeare.
