In Shakespeare in Quebec, Jennifer Drouin analyses representations
of nation and gender in Shakespearean adaptations written in Quebec
since the Quiet Revolution. Using postcolonial and gender theory,
Drouin traces the evolution of discourses of nation and gender in
Quebec from the Conquest of New France to the present, and she
elaborates a theory of adaptation specific to Shakespeare studies.
Drouin's book explains why Quebecois playwrights seem so obsessed
with rewriting "le grand Will," what changes they make to the
Shakespearean text, and how the differences between Shakespeare and
the adaptations engage the nationalist, feminist, and queer
concerns of Quebec society. Close readings from ten plays
investigate the radical changes to content that allowed Quebecois
playwrights to advocate for political change and contribute to the
hot debates of the Quiet Revolution, the 1970 October Crisis, the
1980 and 1995 referenda, the rise of feminism, and the emergence of
AIDS. Drouin reveals not only how Shakespeare has been adapted in
Quebec but also how Quebecois adaptations have evolved in response
to changes in the political climate. As a critical analysis in
English of rich but largely ignored French plays, Shakespeare in
Quebec bridges Canada's "two solitudes."
