Bücher von Graham Bradshaw

A collection of essays from South African critics that examine the treatment of Shakespeare's work in South Africa as an aspect of colonial history. It shows how the titanic political and ideological struggles that convulsed South Africa throughout the period also affected the way that Shakespeare was studied, interpreted, taught and performed.

Presents a section on 'European Shakespeares', proceeding from the claim that Shakespeare's literary craft was not just native English or British, but was filtered and fashioned through a Renaissance awareness that needs to be recognized as European, and that has had effects and afterlives across the Continent.
