If we persist in reading     Shakespeare as representative of only one group, as the very pinnacle of     the white Western canon, then he will truly be in peril.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Combining piercing analysis of race, gender and otherness in     famous plays from Antony and Cleopatra to The Tempest with a radical reappraisal of Elizabethan     London, The Great White Bard asks us neither to idealize nor bury     Shakespeare but instead to look him in the eye and reckon with the     discomforts of his plays, playhouses and society. In inviting new     perspectives and interpretations, we may yet prolong and enrich his extraordinary     legacy.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49322751787312,"sku":"BDh0m2","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/524976-h0m2-Square.jpg?v=1733488021","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-h0m2","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
