The Merchant of Venice (retried) is written by George Elliott Clarke and published by . It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1554471710 (ISBN 10) and 9781554471713 (ISBN 13).
Whether you've encountered his celebrated verse-dramas (such as Whylah Falls or Québécité) or the lush, animated language of his poetry, it is not difficult to recognize George Elliott Clarke's affinity for the genius of William Shakespeare. In this new work, Clarke borrows brazenly from and rewrites (The Bard's very own working method) one of Shakespeare's most contentious comedies, The Merchant of Venice, reinvigorating a play that on many points seems "retrograde politically and retarding dramatically". The result is a spectacle of swinging lyricism that casts Jewish Shylock not as the villain, but as the victim of the ingrained bigotry of the Venetian State.
