Reviews

If you have not already seen this series [Oxford Shakespeare Topics], you must get to it now. It is reader-friendly and reliable. Chronique ... a very interesting treatment about self-definition, difference, and xenophobia. Chronique Loomba's book is rich with a sense of the heterogeneous and multi-vocal present. Helen Moore, TLS Race and colonialism have certainly become more important Shakespearean topics in recent years and one could not hope for a more authoritative and accessible discussion of them than that provided by Ania Loomba...In sum, this book offers a case study of how to write for the wider readership without betraying the complexity of the subject matter. Peter Hulme, Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History A concise, balanced and well-judged introduction to the revolution in Shakespeare studies ... Loomba's book will be very helpful to students in explaining many key terms ... Many of Loomba's judgments will be as useful to teachers as students. Around The Globe
