Description
Post-colonial Shakespeares explores the connections between early modern and contemporary vocabularies of colonization, 'race' and nationhood. This collection of new essays examines how Shakespeare's works reflect and shape our understanding of colonialism and its legacy.
The book delves into the ways in which Shakespeare's plays were used as a tool for colonial discourse, and how these discourses have continued to influence our understanding of 'race' and nationhood today. By tracing the connections between early modern and contemporary vocabularies, this study sheds new light on the ongoing relevance of Shakespeare's works.
Featuring original work by leading critics in the field, Post-colonial Shakespeares is a valuable resource for scholars and students of literature and cultural studies.
