Shakespeare's Englishes

Against Englishness

Produktbeschreibung

This urgent and original book shows how Shakespeare's early comedies and the second tetralogy of history plays resist an emergent exclusionary idea of (the) 'true' English with its attendant violence towards others, proposing rather an inclusive idea of 'our English'.
