beyond honoured and delighted to receive this blurb for IRISH SHAKESPEARES from @norajw.bsky.social 💚

Critics’ Reviews: 'Emer McHugh's Irish Shakespeares demonstrates, with brilliant clarity, the ways in which performances of Shakespeare in Irish contexts are not merely neutral engagements with a cultural artefact. Rather, they are tied up with both Irish and Shakespearean conceptions of family, faith, and nationhood; 'charged', as she puts it, with complex histories of 'imperialism, cultural hegemony, and colonial violence' (2-3). This is an urgent and timely work, situated in both place and time but nonetheless speaking to the ways in which the long histories of Ireland, the Irish diaspora, and Shakespeare inflect and influence issues of performance and identity today. This is an essential book for anyone interested in contemporary Shakespearean performance, adaptation and appropriation, and gender and sexuality in performance — and one that I will be returning to and thinking with for a long time to come.'

A graph of relative sexiness of men off Buffy in relation to ongoing age of man fancying viewer. The former is vertical and the latter is horizontal. Different coloured lines for Spike, Angel, Xander, and Oz go up and (eventually) down as ongoing viewer ages, however one line rockets right up: GILES!! (And there is Giles’ head at the top of the line)
