Publications
Dr. Thea Buckley, Prof. Mark Thornton Burnett, Sangeeta Datta and Dr. Rosa García Periago are currently editing a collection of essays, Women and Indian Shakespeares (Bloomsbury Academic), as one of the project outputs.
This essay collection radically reimagines the field of Indian Shakespeares by putting women at the centre. It explores the multiple ways in which women are, and have been, engaged with Shakespeare in India in a wide range of manifestations.
