| Description | The publication examines the nature of Shakespearean inspiration in the works of Tom Stoppard. It commences with a definition of the canon as an intersection of cultural tradition and cultural heritage, and proceeds with an in-depth analysis of three Stoppard’s works which are directly linked to the Shakespearean canon: the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, which approaches Shakespeare from a reversed perspective, combined one-acts Dogg’s Hamlet, Cahoot’s Macbeth, which feature Shakespeare in the form of reduction, and the screenplay Shakespeare in Love, where the film narrative and Shakespeare’s drama interact in various degrees of collision and fusion. Stoppard understands Shakespeare – his works, personality and cult – as a universal symbol of the artist and of art. |
