Opis

In this study of Shakespeare's Roman plays, the author brings to these texts a critical perspective which interrogates the gender ideologies behind Roman virtue. Plays featured include: Titus Andronicus; Julius Caesar; Antony and Cleopatra; Coriolanus and Cymbeline. Setting the Roman works in the dual context of the popular theatre and Renaissance humanism, the author identifies new sources which she analyzes from a historicized feminist perspective. This text should appeal to appeal to Shakespeare scholars and students, those interested in feminist theory, as well as Classicists.
