Annotation:
	Recounts importance of Shakespeare to "intellectual/social life of colonial Bengal/India by the last quarter of the 19th century." Shows how social reformers, nationalists, poets, and playwrights and directors responded to and used Shakespeare. Explores responses to "racial misrepresentation" of Othello and "the anxiety of the Raj in teaching King Lear," before turning to Shakespeare's position in "post-independence Indian academia" and "contemporary Indian cinema."
