Shakespeare in the North

Where does Shakespeare belong? This collection explores what happens to an international icon in a local context. To do so, it asks two related questions: where is the ‘North’ in Shakespeare, and where is Shakespeare in the ‘North’? Answering these questions involves thinking about how Shakespeare and his contemporaries understood the ‘North’. But it also involves thinking about and defining what the ‘North’ has meant and means now, and what it has done or does with Shakespeare. This collection benefits readers by bringing together diverse, established and emerging voices to respond to these questions, and also to the political uncertainties in which anyone who reads, studies, performs, or loves Shakespeare currently finds themselves. This is a book full of fresh ideas about Shakespeare, then, but also a book about and for the here and now.
