Title: The Great White Bard Author: Farah Karim-Cooper Narrator: Farah Karim-Cooper Format: mp3 Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins Release date: 08-15-23 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Renaissance Publisher's Summary: Professor Farah Karim-Cooper grew up loving the Bard, perhaps because Romeo and Juliet felt Pakistani to her. But why was being white as a ‘snowy dove’ essential to Juliet’s beauty? Combining piercing analysis of race, gender and otherness in beloved plays from Othello to The Tempest with a radical reappraisal of Elizabethan London, The Great White Bard entreats us neither to idealise nor to fossilise Shakespeare but instead to look him in the eye and reckon with the discomforts of his plays, playhouses and society.
