This new collection reveals that Shakespeare’s plays have always been embroiled in political and cultural debates. From the Elizabethan/Jacobean stage to modern classrooms, his works provoke conversation, challenge conventions, and ignite controversy. Nonetheless, Shakespeare’s central position in the traditional cultural establishment is facing renewed scrutiny as some critics start to question whether his works should still occupy a prime position on the syllabus and the stage. Debates about “woke” ideology—emerging in part out of the earlier “culture wars”—have stimulated renewed interest in the role of various schools of critical enquiry, ranging from feminism and gender to queer theory, postcolonialism and race to cultural materialism, global studies to eco-criticism, social class to social justice.

WOKE SHAKESPEARE is a thought-provoking new volume that engages in fierce contemporary debates surrounding Shakespeare in the age of "woke" cultural politics. Bringing together a diverse range of perspectives, this collection explores the challenges and complexities of teaching and performing Shakespeare in today’s polarized social climate. As media-driven hostility intensifies and cultural panics emerge, WOKE SHAKESPEARE tackles questions about Shakespeare's relevance, representation, and reception among new audiences.
