Accordingly, this new collection presents a variety of new voices emerging out of contemporary Shakespeare and performance studies in the wider context of a global age of culture wars, identity politics, digital transformation, and pedagogic innovation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShakespeare: New Voices\u003c\/i\u003e is a bold and necessary collection for our times. It not only examines Shakespeare's place in twenty-first-century culture but also interrogates the role that literature, performance, and theory can play in social justice movements, intensifying culture wars, and emancipatory pedagogy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an era marked by global unrest, heightened attention to social justice, and a backlash against 'wokeness', Shakespeare's drama persists as a cultural cornerstone and serves as point of common reference; the plays create a forum for debate and contestation, and opportunities for creative appropriation and adaptation. At one extreme, we find the Shakespeare Idol (Bardolatry); at the other the critique of transcendence and universalist claims, and a more nuanced exploration of forms of inclusion and exclusion within global Shakespeare studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith accessibility, originality, and meticulous scholarship as key guiding principles, this volume provides a pluralistic account of Shakespeare's place in contemporary social and cultural life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian McCormick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798255328079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.82d","brand":"Ian McCormick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801628094719,"sku":"9798255328079","price":17.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeare-ian-mccormick-9798255328079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
