The collection places renderings of Shakespeare's works aimed at the page and the stage in their multiple cultural contexts, including gender, race and nation, as well as personal and postcolonial politics. Shakespeare's impact on nations and cultures all around the world is increasingly a focus for study and debate. As a result, the international performance of Shakespeare and Shakespeare in translation have become areas of growing popularity for both under- and post-graduate study, for which this book provides a valuable companion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ton Hoenselaars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1408179741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781408179741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arden Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Ton Hoenselaars","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925472837887,"sku":"9781408179741","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_925cddde-8d27-414a-b586-f97d025e5035.jpg?v=1681077477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeare-and-the-language-of-ton-hoenselaars-9781408179741","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
