Moving well beyond Othello, the collection invites the reader to understand racialized discourses, rhetoric, and performances in all of Shakespeare's plays, including the comedies and histories. Race is presented through an intersectional approach with chapters that focus on the concepts of sexuality, lineage, nationality, and globalization. The collection helps students to grapple with the unique role performance plays in constructions of race by Shakespeare (and in Shakespearean performances), considering both historical and contemporary actors and directors. The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and Race will be the first book that truly frames Shakespeare studies and early modern race studies for a non-specialist, student audience.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 415gContributor: Ayanna Thompson (Edited by)Author: Ayanna ThompsonGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Cambridge Companions to LiteratureTopic: Social Sciences, Poetry & Drama, Literary Criticism, Music Dance & TheatreRelease Year: 2021
