Opis

This focused collection of essays explores the multiple possiblities for the study of Shakespeare in an emerging postcolonial period. It examines the extent to which our assumption about key terms such as colonization, race, and nation derive from early modern English culture. It also looks at how such terms are themselves affected by what was established subsequently as colonial forms of knowledge. The volume features original work by some of the leading critics within the field of Shakespeare studies, including: Andreas Bertoldi; Jerry Brotton; Jonathan Burton; Jonathan Dollimore; Terence Hawkes; Margo Hendricks; David Johnson; Ania Loomba; Michael Neill; Martin Orkin; Avraham Oz; and Nicholas Visser.

Recenzje

'Post-colonial Shakespeare is an interesting and unusual book which is full of surprising and sometimes urgent insights that will excite students, scholars, and anyone else who is interested in either Shakespeare or 'our post-colonial condition'.' - Ewan Fernie, The Seventeenth Century
