Women and Indian Shakespeares explores the multiple ways in which
women are, and have been, engaged with Shakespeare in India.
Women’s engagements encompass the full range of media, from
translation to cinematic adaptation and from early colonial
performance to contemporary theatrical experiment. Simultaneously,
Women and Indian Shakespeares makes visible the ways in which women
are figured in various representational registers as resistant
agents, martial seductresses, redemptive daughters, victims of
caste discrimination, conflicted spaces and global citizens. In so
doing, the collection reorients existing lines of investigation,
extends the disciplinary field, brings into visibility still
occluded subjects and opens up radical readings. More broadly, the
collection identifies how, in Indian Shakespeares on page, stage
and screen, women increasingly possess the ability to shape
alternative futures across patriarchal and societal barriers of
race, caste, religion and class. In repeated iterations, the
collection turns our attention to localized modes of adaptation
that enable opportunities for women while celebrating
Shakespeare’s gendered interactions in India’s rapidly
changing, and increasingly globalized, cultural, economic and
political environment. In the contributions, we see a transformed
Shakespeare, a playwright who appears differently when seen through
the gendered eyes of a new Indian, diasporic and global generation
of critics, historians, archivists, practitioners and directors.
Radically imagining Indian Shakespeares with women at the centre,
Women and Indian Shakespeares interweaves history, regional
geography/regionality, language and the present day to establish a
record of women as creators and adapters of Shakespeare in Indian
contexts.

England's Asian Renaissance explores how Asian knowledges,
narratives, and customs inflected early modern English literature.
Just as Asian imports changed England's tastes and enriched the
English language, Eastern themes, characters, and motifs helped
shape the country's culture and contributed to its national
identity. Questioning long-standing dichotomies between East and
West and embracing a capacious understanding of translatio as
geographic movement, linquistic transformation, and cultural
grafting, the collection gives pride of place to convergence,
approximation, and hybridity, thus underscoring the radical
mobility of early modern culture. In so doing, England's Asian
Renaissance also moves away from entrenched narratives of Western
cultural sovereignty to think anew England's debts to Asia.
