Shakespeare in Quebec
«
‘Drouin’s examination of Québécois literature is a refreshing, entirely new addition to the field of Shakespeare studies. This work would be of interest to readers who focus on any one of her three key terms – Québécois, adaptation, or Shakespeare - as well as those interested in postcolonial Studies.’

In Shakespeare in Quebec, Jennifer Drouin analyses representations of nation and gender in Shakespearean adaptations written in Quebec since the Quiet Revolution. Using postcolonial and gender theory, Drouin traces the evolution of discourses of nation and gender in Quebec from the Conquest of New France to the present, and she elaborates a theory of adaptation specific to Shakespeare studies.
