This original and innovative book proposes ' dismemory' as a new form of intertextual engagement with Shakespeare by modern and contemporary Irish writers. Through reflection on these canonical writers and ranging across thirteen Shakespeare plays, Taylor-Collins demonstrates how Irish writers who helped to fashion and critique the Irish nation state carry an indelible, if often subdued, mark of Shakespeare' s early modern English influence. The volume overall renews and revitalises the Shakespeare-modern Ireland connection: Taylor-Collins reveals Hamlet' s hauntological legacy in Playboy of the Western World, Ulysses, and Ghosts; how the corporal economies that exert pressure from Coriolanus and Ben Jonson flicker through to the antiheroes in Beckett' s Three Novels; and how the landed legacies of territorial contests in Shakespeare are engaged with in Yeats' s poetry, and similarly how the diseased muddiness in Hamlet is addressed by Heaney.
Nicholas Taylor-Collins is Senior Lecturer of English at Cardiff Metropolitan University
