Ridge covers the history of trauma theory from Freud and shell shock to Holocaust studies and PTSD, drawing on psychoanalytic theory, feminist theory, post-colonial theory and disability studies. She also looks at the expansive and growing history of trauma-informed Shakespeare productions and adaptations, which furthers our understanding of key plays and productions. Ridge offers a number of instructive case studies, including \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eR+J\u003c\/i\u003e, which adapted \u003ci\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eCry Havoc!\u003c\/i\u003e, a trauma-focused appropriation of Shakespeare's work that led to the development of the DE-CRUIT program.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese case studies suggest how trauma theory can be used as a tool for analyzing Shakespeare as well as engaging with the lived experience of trauma itself. By exploring these interpretations, Ridge provides a set of tools for those wanting to conduct their own trauma theory analyses of Shakespeare, productions, and adaptations. A dynamic resource for academics, students, and theatre practitioners, \u003ci\u003eShakespeare and Trauma Theory\u003c\/i\u003e includes suggested readings and resources as well as discussion of key terms to support understanding of an important and growing field in Shakespeare studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKelsey Ridge\u003c\/b\u003e is an Adjunct Professor in Literature at Alvernia University, USA.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19 August 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Arden Shakespeare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350439146\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e184\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55552926449804,"sku":"9781350439146","price":35.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_2c42061c-e317-4712-8cde-fb7aea2fd5f1.jpg?v=1788313455","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781350439146","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
