Description

Explore a groundbreaking interdisciplinary analysis of race, performance, and identity in Shakespeare's The Tempest through the lens of masquing traditions and Jonson's dramatic works. This scholarly volume examines how blackness functions as a theatrical and textual concept in early modern culture, offering fresh perspectives on Caliban's characterisation and the visual spectacle of masque in Renaissance drama. Part of the New Interdisciplinary Approaches to Early Modern Culture series, this Routledge publication bridges literary criticism, theatre history, and cultural studies to illuminate the complex intersections of race, power, and performance in Shakespeare's most contested play. Essential reading for scholars, students, and theatre practitioners interested in early modern representations of otherness and the cultural politics of blackness on the Jacobean stage.
