CRITICISM

Bate, Jonathan. “Love Locked Out.” Times Literary Supplement, no. 4734 (24 December 1993): 3-4.

Provides an overview of current Shakespearean criticism, including a negative assessment of Ghose's Shakespeare's Mortal Knowledge.

Bradbury, Malcolm. “The Bridgeable Gap.” Times Literary Supplement, no. 4633 (17 January 1992): 7-9.

Hashmi, Alamgir. Review of Figures of Enchantment, by Zulfikar Ghose. World Literature Today 62, no. 1 (winter 1988): 184.

Offers a favorable review of Figures of Enchantment, providing a brief overview of plot and themes and noting the similarities between the novel and Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Kanaganayakam, Chelva. “Caliban in the Andes: Figures of Enchantment as Post-Colonial Text.” In Asian Voices in English, edited by Mimi Chan and Roy Harris, pp. 109-18. Hong Kong: University of Hong Kong Press, 1991.

Argues the inevitability of post-colonial writers' recreating and reexamining Shakespearean texts, and illustrates the similarities and differences between Ghose's Figures of Enchantment and Shakespeare's The Tempest. Although revised, retitled, and published in Kanaganayakam's Structures of Negation in 1993 as “Going Home: Figures of Enchantment and The Triple Mirror of Self,” this earlier essay contains more references to Ghose's poetry and draws parallels between his poetry and prose in a post-colonial context.
