Shakespeare And The Cultural Colonization Of Ireland

Focusing on plays ( Richard II , Henry V , and Hamlet) which appear prominently in the writing of the Irish nationalist movement of the early twentieth century, this study explores how Irish writers such as Sean OCasey, Samuel Beckett, W. B. Yeats, G. B. Shaw, James Joyce, and Seamus Heaney resisted English cultural colonization through a combination of reappropriation and critique of Shakespeare's work.Bates, Robin E. is the author of 'Shakespeare And The Cultural Colonization Of Ireland', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415958165 and ISBN 0415958164.
