A Reading of the Imperial Theme in Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra
Abstract
Abstract:
The following paper tries to prove the value and relevance of the critical-methodological discourse of Said’s Culture and Imperialism for the early modern period. The chronological focus of Said’s theoretical framework has been widened to include Renaissance Literature and applied to the analysis of the representations of political power in Stuart’s England through a close-reading of William’s Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra.
