Shakespeare was presented as exemplary of British genius and those who edited and shaped the texts were very aware of the potential political and cultural impact this could have. Marcus traces important ways in which the colonial enterprise of setting forth the best possible Shakespeare for world consumption has continued to be visible in the recent treatment of Shakespeare's texts today, despite our belief that we are global or post-colonial in approach. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Criticism, Textual. 650 0 $a Transmission of texts $z England $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z England $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a English imprints. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011220.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171003032007.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A6BF79A621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
