Shakespeare: increasingly irrelevant or lone literary genius of the Western canon?

Recenzje

'Vivid... a thorough analysis but also a kind of love letter... Karim-Cooper sees Shakespeare as holding a mirror to this society, with his plays interrogating live issues around race, identity and the colonial enterprise. Her critique is at its most absorbing and original when she shows how complicated his approach was... Her arguments come to feel essential and should be absorbed by every theatre director, writer, critic, interested in finding new ways into the work.'
