Even while a conscious dismantling of colonization was happening since the 19th century, the Indian literati, intellectuals, scholars and dramaturges were engaged in deconstructing the ultimate icon of colonial presence--Shakespeare. This book delves into what constitutes Indianness in the postcolonial context by looking into the text and sub-text of the Bard of Avon's plays adapted in visual culture, translation, stage performance and cinema. The book is an important intervention in the ongoing explorations in social and cultural history, as it explores how Shakespeare has impacted the emergence of regional identities around questions of language and linguistic empowerment in various ways. It reveals an extraordinary negotiation of colonial and postcolonial identity issues--be it in language, in social and cultural practices or in art forms. 606 $aEnglish drama$xAppreciation$zIndia 606 $aTheater$zIndia$xHistory 610 $aShakespeare, William, 1564-1616 610 $aEnglish Drama 610 $aTheater 610 $aPerforming Arts 610 $aLiterary Criticism 615 0$aEnglish drama$xAppreciation 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 676 $a792.9/50954 702 $aPanja$b Shormishtha$4edt 702 $aSaraf$b Babli Moitra$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798407503321 996 $aPerforming Shakespeare in India$93801305 997 $aUNINA
