Shakespeare and Asia brings together innovative scholars from Asia
or with Asian connections to explore these matters of East-West and
global contexts then and now. The collection ranges from
interpretations of Shakespeare's plays and his relations with other
authors like Marlowe and Dickens through Shakespeare and history
and ecology to studies of film, opera or scholarship in Japan,
Russia, India, Pakistan, Singapore, Taiwan and mainland China. The
adaptations of Kozintsev and Kurosawa; Bollywood adaptations of
Shakespeare's plays; different Shakespearean dramas and how they
are interpreted, adapted and represented for the local Pakistani
audience; the Peking-opera adaptation of Hamlet ; Feng Xiaogang's
The Banquet as an adaptation of Hamlet; the ideology of the film,
Shakespeare Wallah. Asian adaptations of Hamlet will be at the
heart of this volume. Hamlet is also analyzed in light of Oedipus
and the Sphinx. Shakespeare is also considered as a historicist and
in terms of what influence he has on Chinese writers and historical
television. Lear is Here and Cleopatra and Her Fools, two adapted
Shakespearean plays on the contemporary Taiwanese stage, are also
discussed. This collection also examines in Shakespeare the
patriarchal prerogative and notion of violence; carnival and space
in the comedies; the exotic and strange; and ecology. The book is
rich, ranging and innovative and will contribute to Shakespeare
studies, Shakespeare and media and film, Shakespeare and Asia and
global Shakespeare.
