South African Essays on 'Universal' Shakespeare collects new
scholarship and extant (but previously unpublished) material,
reflecting the changing nature of Shakespeare studies across
various 'generation gaps'. 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 author's 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
'southern' perspectives, the book presents new possibilities for
considering (and reassessing) shifting manifestations of
Shakespeare's work in major Shakespearean 'centres' such as Britain
and the United States, as well as across the global North and
South.
