Incorporating the Text
This chapter considers two works, Pericles Redux and The Tempest Replica , created by Not Man Apart (NMA) Physical Theatre Ensemble and Kidd Pivot, respectively. It argues that the cross-over genres of physical theater and dance theater are well suited to Shakespeare adaptations, and that these two works succeed because, in keeping with Shakespeare’s own dramatic art, they mingle comic and tragic, classical and vernacular, and “pivot” among diffe…

Dancing on Her Grave
In Grigori Kozintsev's Hamlet, Oliver Parker's Othello, and Rupert Goold's Macbeth, three esteemed directors break with tradition and insert a dance for the tragic heroine. They use the heroine's dancing body to contravene genre expectations, to complicate representations of dance as a social practice, and to highlight the theme of the heroine's sexual or political vulnerability. Close attention to these dance sequences and their historical assoc…

Islam and English Drama
Though it may seem to be a recent phenomenon, scholarly interest in Islam and early modern English drama goes back almost a hundred years. This introduction surveys the criticism of early modern English plays with Islamic themes or elements, assessing the influence of pioneers such as Samuel C. Chew, the reaction to Edward W. Said’s 'Orientalist thesis', and the questions that currently engage a growing number of scholars in the field, including …
The Sultan Speaks
The first study of English historical plays about the Turks, using works in Greek, Arabic, and Turkish. Drawing on Bakhtin's concept of the dialogic, McJannet shows that instead of adverse authorial c
Marlowe’s Turks
Recent studies of 1,2 Tamburlaine have varied in their themes and emphases,1 but for nearly a hundred years, few critics have disagreed with the view of Joseph Q. Adams that “the establishment of the Turk as a popular and clearly marked type on the public stage must be credited to Marlowe’s Tamburlaine, which in 1587 startled the London playgoers and set other dramatists at imitation.”2 After Tamburlaine, he asserts: the swarthy-faced Mohammedan …
Preliminaries
The rhetoric of alterity, of which Orientalism is one example, purports to describe entire peoples by means of abstract attributes in opposition to which the speaker can define himself or herself. It typically employs a relatively small number of tropes and discursive strategies: generalizations, epithets, asides, good/bad dichotomies, “exceptions to the rule,” irony, and direct or indirect quotations. In themselves, these strategies are neutral,…
After Knolles
Richard Knolles’ Generall Historie , while relying on eastern histories and acknowledging the Turks’ accomplishments, remained deeply critical of what he understood to be the Ottoman political and social system. Early seventeenth-century English travelers, such as Fynes Moryson and George Sandys, likewise revealed a deep ambivalence about the east, spending time and treasure to visit Ottoman lands but also alleging that the empire was declining f…
“History Written by the Enemy”
In recent years, Virginia Mason Vaughan, Jonathan Burton, and Nabil Matar have lamented the “one sidedness” of the evidence regarding east-west exchange in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.1 Most of the available works, they point out, reveal only the western European experience, and some speculate that, owing to a lack of interest, the eastern half of the archive may be slight.2 But this hypothesis is now under scrutiny; Matar’s own trans…
