The book "Shakespeare Reread The Texts in New Contexts" offers a unique perspective on the works of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest playwrights in history. It challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of his plays and poems by placing them in new contexts, such as the digital age, postcolonialism, feminism, and globalization. The author argues that Shakespeare's works are not only timeless classics but also relevant to contemporary issues and concerns. The book begins with an introduction that sets the stage for the rest of the volume, providing a brief overview of Shakespeare's life and work, as well as the historical context in which he wrote. The author then delves into each of Shakespeare's plays and poems, analyzing them through the lens of modern theories and perspectives. In the first chapter, the author explores how Shakespeare's plays can be seen as a reflection of the digital age, examining the ways in which technology has changed the way we communicate and interact with others. For example, the author looks at how characters in Shakespeare's plays use language and rhetoric to manipulate others, and how these techniques can be applied to modern-day social media and political discourse. The second chapter focuses on postcolonialism, examining how Shakespeare's plays reflect the colonialist attitudes of his time and how they can be used to challenge and subvert these attitudes today.
