Opis

Shakespeare and Immigration presents a variety of perspectives on the immigrant experience in Shakespearean drama, and the way that attention to the influential nature of the foreigner affects perceptions of community and identity. Offering the first sustained study of the significance of the immigrant and alien experience to our understanding of Shakespeare's work, this volume constitutes a timely, necessary addition to studies of race, ethics, and national identity in Shakespeare.

Recenzje

'Shakespeare and Immigration has an explicit concern with an urgent contemporary sociopolitical issue. ... This book, with its wide range of reference, would be valuable to anyone interested in immigration, race, and other cross-cultural issues in the early modern period, from advanced undergraduate to experienced scholar, in history as well as literature. Some essays will challenge those who want to see Shakespeare as the genius who always takes the most progressive position, but that very challenge is part of what makes the book pedagogically useful as well as full of groundbreaking scholarship.' Renaissance Quarterly
