Description
Summary:This book brings together forty of the most important scholars and intellectuals writing on the subject today. Extending the purview of feminist criticism, it offers an intersectional paradigm for considering representations of gender in the context of race, ethnicity, sexuality, disability and religion. In addition to sophisticated textual analysis drawing on the methods of historicism, psychoanalysis, queer theory and posthumanism, a team of international experts discuss Shakespeare's life, contemporary editing practices and performance of his plays on stage, on screen and in the classroom. This theoretically sophisticated yet elegantly written handbook includes an editor's Introduction that provides a comprehensive overview of current debates.
