Explored in this essay collection is how Shakespeare is rewritten, reinscribed and translated to fit within the local tradition, values, and languages of the world's various communities and cultures. Contributors show that Shakespeare, regardless of the medium - theater, pedagogy, or literary studies - is commonly 'rooted' in the local customs of a people in ways that challenge the notion that his drama promotes a Western idealism. Native Shakespeares examines how the persistent indigenization of Shakespeare complicates the traditional vision of his work as a voice of Western culture and colonial hegemony. The international range of the collection and the focus on indigenous practices distinguishes Native Shakespeares from other available texts.

"Those at the periphery of society often figure obsessively for
those at its center, and never more so than with the rogues of
early modern England. Whether as social fact or literary fiction-or
both, simultaneously-the marginal rogue became ideologically
central and has remained so for historians, cultural critics, and
literary critics alike. In this collection, early modern rogues
represent the range, diversity, and tensions within early modern
scholarship, making this quite simply the best overview of their
significance then and now." "Rogues and Early Modern English Culture" is a definitive
collection of critical essays on the literary and cultural impact
of the early modern rogue. Under various names-rogues, vagrants,
molls, doxies, vagabonds, cony-catchers, masterless men,
caterpillars of the commonwealth-this group of marginal figures,
poor men and women with no clear social place or identity,
explodedonto the scene in sixteenth-century English history and
culture. Early modern representations of the rogue or moll in
pamphlets, plays, poems, ballads, historical records, and the
infamous Tudor Poor Laws treated these characters as harbingers of
emerging social, economic, and cultural changes.
