Description
The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and Race explores the complex relationship between Shakespeare and race, moving beyond the most commonly studied plays to examine racialized discourses, rhetoric, and performances in all of Shakespeare's works. This collection presents a nuanced approach to understanding race, focusing on concepts such as sexuality, lineage, nationality, and globalization. Through an intersectional lens, the book delves into the role of performance in constructions of race, considering both historical and contemporary actors and directors. This comprehensive guide is ideal for students and teachers seeking to understand the intersection of Shakespeare and race studies, making it an essential resource for those new to the subject. By framing Shakespeare studies and early modern race studies for a broader audience, this book provides a valuable introduction to the complex and multifaceted nature of race in Shakespeare's works.
