Inhaltsangabe

First published in 2002. This collection of new essays explores the multiple possibilities for the study of Shakespeare in an emerging post-colonial period. Post-Colonial Shakespeares examines the extent to which our assumption about such key terms as ‘colonization’, ‘race’ and ‘nation’ derive from early modern English culture. It also looks at how such terms are themselves affected by what were established subsequently as ‘colonial’ forms of knowledge. The volume features original work by some of the leading critics within the field of Shakespearean studies. It is the most authoritative collection on this topic to date and represents an exciting step forward for post-colonial studies
