Addressing both theoretical and practical questions surrounding
Shakespeare in contemporary Asia, this book asks why Shakespeare
has been of use in these vast regions of the world that have no
need to call on him. By investigating some of the ways Shakespeare
has been reinvented and deployed, the study notes the differences
between standard western approaches and those that can be seen in
Japan, China, India, and South East Asia. The contributors come
from a wide variety of backgrounds and traditions, West and East,
and present distinctive, and sometimes conflicting, views on topics
as diverse as speaking Shakespeare in Japanese, the importation and
exportation of Shakespeare in Asia, and the uses of the English
national poet in Indian film and Japanese popular culture. The
debates which occur within the book highlight the diversity of
production and reception for the world's most popular playwright,
whose work is now global cultural capital.
