This volume examines the multifaceted concept of 'place' within Shakespearean studies and Renaissance culture, honoring the work of scholar Michael Neill. The essays explore Neill's analyses of place as a springboard for new critical investigations, while also questioning the implications of 'international' in the Yearbook's title, considering the historical and ongoing processes that shape our global understanding. Contributions span diverse geographical locations and temporalities, analyzing early modern England alongside its spatial and temporal reappropriations in the 20th and 21st centuries. The collection features international scholarship and concludes with an afterword by Michael Neill himself.

This collection is presented as the eleventh issue of 'The Shakespearean International Yearbook,' dedicated to honoring the scholarship of Michael Neill. The essays are drawn from a diverse group of international writers, indicating a broad engagement with Neill's work and contemporary Shakespeare studies. The volume's structure, moving from Neill's analyses to broader questions of place and globality, suggests a scholarly and thematic coherence aimed at advancing critical discourse in the field. The inclusion of an afterword by Neill himself provides a direct engagement with the volume's themes from the scholar being honored.
