The book breaks away from traditional western-centric analysis to present a universal Shakespeare, exposing readers to the relevance and significance of Shakespeare within their local contexts and cultures. This text aims to present a global Shakespeare, utilizing a dual perspective or dialectical presentation, mainly centred on questions of (1) how Shakespeare can be viewed as both an English writer and a world writer; (2) how language operates across genres and kinds of discourse; and (3) how Shakespeare helps to articulate a poetics of both texts (literature) and contexts (cultures). The book's originality lies in its articulation of the importance and value of Shakespeare in the emerging landscape of global culture"-- Geography, Asia and otherness -- Rhetoric and English history -- The language of history, governance and of civil war -- The words of kingship and war -- Political rhetoric in Rome -- Translation and history -- Empire, Ireland and the New World -- Hamlet on film in Asia.
