Irena R. Makaryk and Kathryn Prince, eds., Shakespeare in Canada: Remembrance of Ourselves

As noted in the introduction, “[t]his collection is the final fruit of a [University of Ottawa] project marking the four-hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare’s death,” (11) and this collection of essays was primarily drawn from the Shakespeare + Canada symposium held at the University of Ottawa in April 2016. It is not surprising that the essays within, approach and situate both Shakespeare AND Canada from a wide range of disciplines, critical lenses, and theoretical positions. While the organizational structure is not always clear, Shakespeare in Canada is an approachable and engaging collection that demonstrates the deep connections between Canada and the Bard of Avon.
