Overview
- Conducts theoretically-informed readings of five 20th/21st Century Shakespearean adaptations that focus on black womanhood
- Views the texts studied as attempting their own voicing of a suppressed past, and using that recovered past in order to mount a present and possibly even a future informed by black women’s social, political, and emotional agency
- Valuable both to contemporary students who want to know more about treatments of Shakespeare in the 20th and 21st centuries, and to those working on race in early modern drama
