South African Essays On 'Universal' Shakespeare

South African Essays On 'Universal' Shakespeare
South African Essays on âUniversalâ Shakespeare collects new scholarship and extant (but previously unpublished) material, reflecting the changing nature of Shakespeare studies across various âgeneration gapsâ. Each essay, in exploring the nuances of Shakespearean production and reception across time and space, is inflected by a South African connection. In some cases, this is simply because of the authorâs nationality or institutional affiliation, in others, there is a direct engagement with what Shakespeare means, or has meant, in South Africa. By investigating the universality of Shakespeare from both implicitly and explicitly âsouthernâ perspectives, the book presents new possibilities for considering (and reassessing) shifting manifestations of Shakespeareâs work in major Shakespearean âcentresâ such as Britain and the United States, as well as across the global North and South.
