This title identifies the French source of the earliest Arabic "Hamlet". Publisher Description For the past five decades, Arab intellectuals have seen themselves in Shakespeares "Hamlet": their times "out of joint", their political hopes frustrated by a corrupt older generation. "Hamlets Arab Journey" traces the uses of "Hamlet" in Arabic theatre and political rhetoric, and asks how Shakespeares play developed into a musical with a happy ending in 1901 and grew to become the most obsessively quoted literary work in Arab politics today. Explaining the Arab "Hamlet" tradition, Margaret Litvin also illuminates the "to be or not to be" politics that have turned Shakespeares tragedy into the essential Arab political text, cited by Arab liberals, nationalists, and Islamists alike. On the Arab stage, Hamlet has been an operetta hero, a firebrand revolutionary, and a muzzled dissident. Analyzing productions from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Kuwait, Litvin follows the distinct phases of Hamlets naturalization as an Arab. Her fine-grained theatre history uses personal interviews as well as scripts and videos, reviews, and detailed comparisons with French and Russian Hamlets. The result shows Arab theatre in a new light.Litvin identifies the French source of the earliest Arabic "Hamlet", shows the outsize influence of Soviet and East European Shakespeare, and explores the deep cultural link between Egypts Gamal Abdel Nasser and the ghost of Hamlets father. Documenting how global sources and models helped nurture a distinct Arab "Hamlet" tradition, "Hamlets Arab Journey" represents a new approach to the study of international Shakespeare appropriation. Author Biography Margaret Litvin is assistant professor of Arabic and comparative literature at Boston University.
