Early Modern Drama and the Eastern European Elsewhere: Representations of Liminal Locality in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries - Hardcover
This study explores how Eastern European spaces and meanings are constituted in specific cultural contexts in early modern English drama. Focusing on the ways in which these texts integrate the articulation of Eastern European space and geography into a variety of interpretative conventions, the book develops ways of thinking critically and reflexively about the production of knowledge and identity in Shakespeare and his contemporaries through representations of space in drama.

Review:
In her new book, Early Modern Drama and the Eastern European Elsewhere, she shifts her focus from Romanian reception of English plays to constructions of Eastern Europe among Shakespeare and his contemporaries. We learn from this study that the region appeared with some frequency in early modern dramatic texts, where it marked the periphery of safe civilization through its association with foreign peoples, barbaric practices, and dangerous seas.
