Jyotsna Singh not only gives us an introduction to postcolonial theory's ongoing conversations with Shakespeare. She also shows us how Shakespeare's texts have themselves repeatedly travelled beyond their familiar coordinates. Indeed, beyond is a crucial keyword in Singh's critical vocabulary. Whether referring to the India beyond the ostensible Athenian location of A Midsummer Night's Dream, recent casting choices that go beyond the familiar black-and-white binaries of Othello, or a Kashmir-based Hindi film that goes beyond the canonical English-language script of Hamlet, Singh invites her readers to recognize both Shakespeare's provinciality and the extraordinary capaciousness of his global travels in, and beyond, the shadow of empire. What a monumental accomplishment. -- Jonathan Gil Harris, Ashoka University, India
