Recent trend of Shakespeare Studies is to largely reinterrogate the iconic version of the Elizabethan poet and dramatist, thereby dismantling the traditional stereotyping of cultural texts. Shakespeare as a British poet served to hegemonise an imperial model of critical reading. But reinterpretations of Shakespeare throughout the world seem to deflect traditional readings of Shakespeare. British Shakespeare has been therefore transformed into multiple Shakespeares. In the emerging terrain of culture studies, alternative re-readings of Shakespeare have subverted the traditional critiquing of Shakespeare.
