Abstract
This article considers the vexed question of “allyship” in Shakespeare and early modern studies. It asks what white scholars can materially do to support their colleagues of colour in the field and beyond, and puts out a call for greater and more urgent recognition of the racist and whitewashed structures on which the study of Shakespeare and early modern literature have historically been built.
