Unique in its focus, Post-Colonial Shakespeares examines how our assumptions about key ideas such as 'colonization', 'race', and 'nation' derive from early modern English culture and looks at how such terms are themselves embedded in "colonial" forms of knowledge. Featuring original work by some of the leading critics within the field, this impressive volume explores the multiple ways of reading Shakespeare in our postcolonial context.
