With Shakespearean Cultures, the Brazilian critic and literary scholar Jo o Cezar de Castro Rocha has produced a remarkable achievement. At once a reflection on the influential theories of Ren Girard and a powerful revision of Latin American literary history, shakespearean Cultures proposes nothing less than a new theory of cultural production from the margins, a poetics of emulation that promises to rewrite our understanding of cultural power dynamics for years to come. --WILLIAM EGGINTON, Decker Professor in the Humanities and Director, Alexander Grass Humanities Institute, Johns Hopkins University
