Publisher Description A detailed exploration of the significance of Hebrew Biblical stories in The Merchant of VeniceWhat happens when we consider Shakespeares The Merchant of Venice as a play with real Jewish characters who are not mere ciphers for anti-Semitic Elizabethan stereotypes? Is Shylock Jewish studies Shakespeares extensive use of stories from the Hebrew Bible in The Merchant of Venice, and argues that Shylock and his daughter Jessica draw on recognizably Jewish ways of engaging with those narratives throughout the play. By examining the legacy of Jewish exegesis and cultural lore surrounding these biblical episodes, this book traces the complexity and richness of Merchants Jewish aspect, spanning encounters with Jews and the Hebrew Bible in the early modern world as well as modern adaptations of Shakespeares play on the Yiddish stage. Key FeaturesAnalyses alternative contexts for the moral agency of Jewish characters in The Merchant of VeniceProvides an innovative study of Renaissance Christian Hebraism in England and English perceptions of Jews and Jewishness in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuriesDiscusses important nineteenth- and twentieth-century Yiddish-language adaptations of The Merchant of VeniceMakes a provocative and original argument about the importance of Judaic biblical exegesis to the long afterlife of Shakespeares The Merchant of Venice Author Biography Sara Coodin is assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma, where she teaches Renaissance literature and Shakespearean Drama. Raised and educated in Montréal, Québec, she learned Yiddish, Hebrew, and French at an early age, and came to the study of Shakespeare somewhat later during her graduate studies at McGill University. Her research focuses on questions of moral agency in Shakespeare and the multi-vocality of Shakespeares plays, including Shakespeares adaptation into other languages.
