Women's engagements encompass the full range of media, from translation to cinematic adaptation and from early colonial performance to contemporary theatrical experiment. Simultaneously, \u003ci\u003eWomen and Indian Shakespeares\u003c\/i\u003e makes visible the ways in which women are figured in various representational registers as resistant agents, martial seductresses, redemptive daughters, victims of caste discrimination, conflicted spaces and global citizens. In so doing, the collection reorients existing lines of investigation, extends the disciplinary field, brings into visibility still occluded subjects and opens up radical readings. More broadly, the collection identifies how, in Indian Shakespeares on page, stage and screen, women increasingly possess the ability to shape alternative futures across patriarchal and societal barriers of race, caste, religion and class. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn repeated iterations, the collection turns our attention to localized modes of adaptation that enable opportunities for women while celebrating Shakespeare's gendered interactions in India's rapidly changing, and increasingly globalized, cultural, economic and political environment. In the contributions, we see a transformed Shakespeare, a playwright who appears differently when seen through the gendered eyes of a new Indian, diasporic and global generation of critics, historians, archivists, practitioners and directors. Radically imagining Indian Shakespeares with women at the centre, \u003ci\u003eWomen and Indian Shakespeares\u003c\/i\u003e interweaves history, regional geography\/regionality, language and the present day to establish a record of women as creators and adapters of Shakespeare in Indian contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thea Buckley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350234362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350234369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arden Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.67d","brand":"Thea Buckley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48484965351679,"sku":"9781350234369","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ebc7ba6-489e-48b3-b538-6a4c82a87661.jpg?v=1778047013","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-and-indian-shakespeares-thea-buckley-9781350234369","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
