This compendium of fourteen papers delves into what constitutes Indianness in the postcolonial context by looking into the text and subtext of Shakespeare’s plays adapted in visual culture, translation, stage performance and cinema.
Offering an important intervention in the ongoing exploration in social and cultural history, it explores how Shakespeare has impacted the emergence of regional identities around questions of language and linguistic empowerment in various ways. Also it reveals an extraordinary negotiation of colonial and postcolonial identity issues—be it in language, in social and cultural practices or in art forms.
