title = "Unfinished Romance",
abstract = "The previous chapter argued that Shakespeare sought to detach Europe from a hybrid Mediterranean world, offering in the narrative of return that concludes The Tempest a fantasy of withdrawal, a divorce from the cultural center of the ancient and medieval world. This ideological work manifests itself in his plays as a transformation of romance: in Shakespeare{\textquoteright}s successive rewritings of romance I tried to register the complex processes through which an increasingly racialized understanding of identity emerged from within the literary fictions of a troubled Christendom.",
