India's Shakespeare

"This collection of essays examines the diverse aspects of the more than two hundred years of interaction between Shakespeare and India, a relationship (the longest and most widespread outside of Europe) which is embedded in the contradictions of colonialism - a matrix of simultaneous submission and resistance. For, while the study of Shakespeare was an imperial imposition, the performance of Shakespeare was not. Shakespeare, translated and adapted on the commercial stage during the late nineteenth century, was widely successful; a colonizing master text became, and remains to this day, the most published and performed western author in India."--Jacket.
