Shakespeare, Tragedy and Menopause: The Anxious Womb
ISBN: 9783031272035 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Shakespeare was not only aware of the socio-cultural fears and anxieties generated by the older woman’s body but with the characterization of his tragic ageing females, Shakespeare becomes the first literary giant to explore the physiological and psychosocial condition that we have come to know as ‘menopause’.
