Afterword: Adapting Shakespeare, Forgetting Race in King Charles III: Future History? . 330 $aAs readers head into the second fifty years of the modern critical study of blackness and black characters in Renaissance drama, it has become a critical commonplace to note black female characters? almost complete absence from Shakespeare?s plays. Despite this physical absence, however, they still play central symbolic roles in articulating definitions of love, beauty, chastity, femininity, and civic and social standing, invoked as the opposite and foil of women who are ?fair?. Beginning from this recognition of black women?s simultaneous physical absence and imaginative presence, this book argues that modern Shakespearean adaptation is a primary means for materializing black women?s often elusive presence in the plays, serving as a vital staging place for historical and political inquiry into racial formation in Shakespeare?s world, and our own. Ranging geographically across North America and the Caribbean, and including film and fiction as well as drama as it discusses remade versions of Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespearean Adaptation, Race, and Memory in the New World will attract scholars of early modern race studies, gender and performance, and women in Renaissance drama. . 410 0$aPalgrave Shakespeare Studies 606 $aLiterature, Modern 606 $aShakespeare, William, 1564-1616 606 $aTheater?History 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aDrama 606 $aShakespeare$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/817010 606 $aTheatre History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415010 606 $aAdaptation Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413180 606 $aComparative Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/811000 606 $aDrama$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/839000 615 0$aLiterature, Modern. 615 0$aShakespeare, William, 1564-1616. 615 0$aTheater?History. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aDrama. 615 14$aShakespeare. 615 24$aTheatre History. 615 24$aAdaptation Studies. 615 24$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aDrama. 676 $a822.33 676 $a800 700 $aGreen MacDonald$b Joyce$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01229606 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483017403321 996 $aShakespearean Adaptation, Race and Memory in the New World$92854181 997 $aUNINA
