This innovative book outlines the great complexity, variety and difference of male identities in Islamic societies.
A surprisingly large number of women writers, directors, and performers have created works that talk back to Shakespeare, or to most earlier and more traditional interpretations of his plays, in the late 20th century. For example, Jane Smiley''s A Thousand Acres, which rewrites King Lear, and Marina Warner''sIndigo, which rewrites The Tempest, protest biases against women and racist and imperialist attitudes that Shakespeare''s plays have come to symbolize. In this collection, feminist critics--and Jane Smiley herself--explore a range of such rewritings, as well as recent Shakespeare performances directed by women.
