In this volume, leading scholars assess the contribution of four major U.S. literary figures to the afterlife and reception of Shakespeare and his plays. Focusing on Emerson (in his essays), Melville (in Moby Dick and Pierre), James (in his short stories, prefaces and criticism) and Berryman (in his poetry and editing of Shakespeare), each essay assesses the double impact of Shakespeare on the figure covered and of the figure on the understanding, interpretation and appreciation of Shakespeare.

Peter Rawlings is Professor of English and American Literature and Head of the Department of English at the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. Contributors: David Greenham (University of the West of England, Bristol, UK), Alex Calder (University of Auckland, New Zealand), Peter Rawlings (University of the West of England, Bristol, UK) and John Roe (University of York, UK).
