Synopsis :

An exploration of displacement and exile in Shakespeare's plays and our world today.

This compelling collection of fourteen essays explores the enduring theme of exile in Shakespeare's works and their global afterlives, offering a timely and thought-provoking response to the modern age of displacement. Building on Edward Said's observation that exile today is marked by its unprecedented scale--driven by war, imperialism, totalitarianism, climate change, and systemic injustice--this volume traces the ideological and cultural forces that shape experiences of exile across time and geography.

Shakespeare's plays, deeply haunted by exile in its many guises--political, religious, cultural, and gendered--serve as a rich site for interrogating identity, belonging, and otherness.
