Shakespeare and Tourism introduces a dialogical mapping of Shakespeare studies and touristic theory through a curated collection of essays by scholars from around the world.
Shakespeare and Tourism provides a dialogical mapping of Shakespeare studies and touristic theory through a collection of essays by scholars on a wide range of material.

This volume examines how Shakespeare tourism has evolved since its inception, and how the phenomenon has been influenced and redefined by performance studies, the prevalence of the World Wide Web, developments in technology, and the globalization of Shakespearean performance. Current scholarship recognizes Shakespearean tourism as a thriving international industry, the result of centuries of efforts to attribute meanings associated with the playwright’s biography and literary prestige to sites for artistic pilgrimage and the consumption of cultural heritage.

Through bringing Shakespeare and tourism studies into more explicit contact, this collection provides readers with a broad base for comparisons across time and location, and thereby encourages a thorough reconsideration of how we understand both fields.

Robert Ormsby is Associate Professor of English at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Valerie Clayman Pye is Chair of the Department of Theatre, Dance, and Arts Management and Associate Professor of Theatre at Long Island University, Post.
