Shakespeare en devenir

Dr. Simonetta FALCHI currently holds a Research Fellowship – funded by the Fondazione Banco di Sardegna and by the Università degli Studi di Sassari (Italy) – to develop her research on “Matrix Characters in English Literature on the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century”. In 2006 she defended her doctoral thesis on the rewritings of the myth of the Wandering Jew at the Università degli Studi di Sassari, where she also graduated in 1999 with a thesis on Heiner Müller’s rewriting of Shakepespeare’s Hamlet in Hamletmaschine. In 2008/2009 she spent two terms in Cambridge as an Academic Visitor at the English Faculty, University of Cambridge, and at Lucy Cavendish College, UK. Her main research interest is the literary reception of myth in the broader sense, including classical, para-biblical and literary myths.
