This book explores Shakespeare in Indian cinemas, including less familiar, Indian language cinemas to contribute to current studies in global Shakespeare. Visiting diverse filmic genres and expanding the very notion of 'Indian cinema', essays focus on the inter-textualities between Shakespearean theatre, regional cinema, performative traditions, and literary histories in India, analyzing the interplay of aesthetic, historical, socio-political, and theoretical contexts. The book tracks the intra-Indian flows and cross-currents between the various film industries, and intervenes in the politics of multiculturalism and inter/intraculturalism built up around Shakespearean appropriations.
Poonam Trivedi was Associate Professor in English at Indraprastha College, University of Delhi, India and is currently the vice-chair of the Asian Shakespeare Association. Paromita Chakravarti is Associate Professor in the Department of English at Jadavpur University, Calcutta, India.
