South African Essays on 'Universal' Shakespeare

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

South African Essays on 'Universal' Shakespeare reflects the changing nature of Shakespeare studies across various 'generation gaps'. Each essay, in exploring the nuances of Shakespearean production and reception across time and space, is inflected by a South African connection. Investigating the universality of Shakespeare from both implicitly and explicitly 'southern' perspectives, the book presents new possibilities for considering (and reassessing) shifting manifestations of Shakespeare's work across the global North and South.
