Summary
This year, Shakespeare criticism is full of bodies: bodies that desire and are desired, that live and die, that are performed and interpreted, that are actors, spectators, and readers too. Although not all these works necessarily situate themselves in body studies, our interactions with bodies and our own embodied interactions with the world and texts are embedded throughout this year of critical studies. To what extent this can be attributed to the dominance of post- (and still current) pandemic thinking remains to be seen, but bodies have nonetheless proved central to much of 2022’s Shakespeare criticism.
Despite this interest with embodiment and identity, it is surprising to see that race has featured so little in this year’s selection of critical studies.
