Weissbourd, Emily
- Abstract
The article focuses on the construction of English playwright William Shakespeare's identity in the First Folio, highlighting the interplay of his Englishness and whiteness as foundational elements. It mentions the historical and disciplinary contexts, exposing how this portrayal of Shakespeare as universal is contingent upon the erasure of transnational and transhistorical textual networks.
