For more than twenty-five years, Karen Newman has brought her
critical acumen to bear on early modern studies. In this collection
of her essays on Shakespeare-some acknowledged classics and others
never before published-Newman shows how changing theoretical trends
have shaped Shakespeare studies, from new historicism and gender
studies to critical race studies and globalization. Central to
Newman's work is social exchange, or the circulation of people and
objects. At least two of these essays have had a powerful and
lasting impact on Shakespeare studies: "Renaissance Family Politics
and Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew" and "'And wash the
Ethiop White': Femininity and the Monstrous in Othello." Three
essays appear in print for the first time: an examination of
clothing of the poor and the portrayal of the king as a beggar in
Richard II; a stinging review of Harold Bloom's book Shakespeare:
The Invention of the Human; and a rethinking of claims about the
globalization of culture and cultural translation. Essaying
Shakespeare chronicles Newman's own critical development to provide
a significant map of critical work on Shakespeare.
