- Abstract:
- Because of a series of miscommunications, I originally wrote a 6000-word essay for the Cambridge Guide to the Worlds of Shakespeare on Ophelia and Popular Culture rather than the 1500 words that it turned out they wanted. Bruce R. Smith graciously let me go up to 3000 words, and I republished some of my research in other articles, but some of this material never did find another home. In this version I schematize the history of Ophelia in popular culture in four categories: the "folk" Ophelia, the "pop" Ophelia, the "public" Ophelia, and the "global" Ophelia.
- Notes:
- This is the non-copy-edited, uncut, Microsoft Word file of the chapter I originally sent to Cambridge in 2011. In 2019 I corrected an author's name but otherwise have made no changes.
