GLOBAL SHAKESPEARE INVERTED

Global Shakespeare Inverted challenges any tendency to view Global Shakespeare from the perspective of centre versus periphery. Although the series may locate its critical starting point geographically, it calls into question the geographical bias that lurks within the very notion of the global. It provides a timely, constructive criticism of the present state of the field and establishes new and alternative methodologies that invert the relation of Shakespeare to the supposed other.
