Shakespearean Adaptation, Race and Memory in the New World Joyce Green MacDonald
Palgrave Shakespeare Studies Series Editors Michael Dobson The Shakespeare Institute University of Birmingham Stratford-upon-Avon, UK Dympna Callaghan Syracuse University Syracuse, NY, USA
Palgrave Shakespeare Studies takes Shakespeare as its focus but strives to understand the significance of his oeuvre in relation to his contemporaries, subsequent writers and historical and political contexts. By extending the scope of Shakespeare and English Renaissance Studies the series will open up the field to examinations of previously neglected aspects or sources in the period’s art and thought. Titles in the Palgrave Shakespeare Studies series seek to understand anew both where the literary achievements of the English Renaissance came from and where they have brought us. Co-founded by Gail Kern Paster. Editorial Board Members Margreta de Grazia Peter Holland Michael Neill Lois D. Potter David Jonathan Schalkwyk More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/14658
