As we witness monuments of white Western history fall, many are
asking 'How is Shakespeare still relevant?' Professor Farah
Karim-Cooper has dedicated her career to the Bard, which is why she
wants to take the playwright down from his plinth to unveil a
Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. If we persist in reading
Shakespeare as representative of only one group, as the very
pinnacle of the white Western canon, then he will truly be in
peril. Combining piercing analysis of race, gender and otherness in
famous plays from Antony and Cleopatra to The Tempest with a
radical reappraisal of Elizabethan London, The Great White Bard
entreats us neither to idealise nor bury Shakespeare but instead to
look him in the eye and reckon with the discomforts of his plays,
playhouses and society. In inviting new perspectives and
interpretations, we may yet prolong and enrich his extraordinary
legacy.
