Re-Dressing the Canon : Essays on Theatre and Gender
ISBN: 9780415157209 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work analyzes the relationship between gender and performance on stage in a wide-ranging series of essays that combine theoretical analysis, close reading, and performance criticism.

The book looks at Aristophanes, Shakespeare, Ibsen, Brecht, Yiddish theatre, and contemporary productions...
