This text focuses on the cross-cultural experience, arguing that Shakespeare reinterprets, refashions, and reinscribes stage aliens such as Jews, Moors, Amazons, and gypsies and thus interrogates a Eurocentric perspective and the caricatures that cultures create of one another. A study of tragedies, comedies, romances, and histories, the book examines the interplay of three concepts gender, text, and habita as metaphors for cross cultural definition. The author recovers much information on race and gender relations in early modern Europe. The book is aimed at departments of literature (courses in Shakespeare and Renaissance drama, cultural studies, gender studies, multicultural studies, British cultural history, ethnicity and race relations)
