"In this collaborative monograph, five scholars from Britain, Australia and New Zealand reflect on the modes of commemoration of Shakespeare in and after the Tercentenary year, 1916, in two hemispheres. They argue that it was at this moment of remembering that 'global Shakespeare' first emerged in recognizable, if embryonic form. Despite a recent surge of interest in the Shakespeare Tercentenary, a great deal has been forgotten about this key moment in the history of the place of Shakespeare in national and global culture - much more than has been remembered. In addressing this the book offers new materials and discoveries about, and new interpretations of, the Tercentenary celebrations in Britain and in Australia and New Zealand, and reflects also on the long legacy of those celebrations"-- Introduction -- Chapter 1:'Goblin's market: Israel Gollancz, the 1916 Tercentenary, and the invention of "global Shakespeare"' reflections I -- Chapter 2: 'The Shakespeare Hut: Anzac meets Shakespeare in London, 1916' reflections II -- Chapter 3:'Oblivion and Memory: New Zealand Inside the Shakespeare Hut (and Beyond), 1916' reflections III -- Chapter 4: 'The Afterlife of a Memorial' reflections IV -- Chapter 5: '"Remembering with Advantages": Henry V and the play of commemorative rhetoric in Australia' -- After Word: 'Memory, Architecture, Space' -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.
