Opis

Shakespeare through Islamic Worlds investigates the peculiar absence of Islam and Muslims from Shakespeare’s corpus. While many of Shakespeare’s plays were set in the Mediterranean, a geography occupied by Muslim empires and cultures, his work eschews direct engagement with the religion and its people.
