Description
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.
