Jane Austen and William Shakespeare: A Love Affair in Literature, Film and Performance<\/em>,<\/h1>\n

Edited by Marina Cano & Rosa Garc\u00eda-Periago<\/h2>\n

Palgrave, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This volume explores the multiple connections between the two most canonical authors in English, Jane Austen and William Shakespeare. The collection reflects on the historical, literary, critical and filmic links between the authors and their fates. Considering the implications of the popular cult of Austen and Shakespeare, the essays are interdisciplinary and comparative: ranging from Austen\u2019s and Shakespeare\u2019s biographies to their presence in the modern vampire saga\u00a0Twilight<\/em>, passing by Shakespearean echoes in Austen\u2019s novels and the authors\u2019 afterlives on the improv stage, in wartime cinema, modern biopics and crime fiction.\u00a0The volume concludes with an account of the Exhibition \u201cWill & Jane\u201d at the Folger Shakespeare Library, which literally brought the two authors together in the autumn of 2016. Collectively, the essays mark and celebrate what we have called the long-standing \u201clove affair\u201d between William Shakespeare and Jane Austen\u2014over 200 years and counting.<\/p>\n
