Impersonations: The Performance of Gender in Shakespeare's England
Orgel, Stephen (Stanford University, California)
Why was England the only country in Europe to maintain an all-male public theatre in the Renaissance? This question prompts Stephen Orgel's exploration of the representation of gender in Elizabethan drama and society. At once provocative and witty, lucid and stylish, Impersonations reshapes our understanding of Renaissance theatre and culture.
