Shakespeare's Feminine Endings: Disfiguring Death in the Tragedies

Shakespeare's Feminine Endings: Disfiguring Death in the TragediesIn this elegant and provocative book, Philippa Berry draws on feminist theory, postmodern thought and queer theory, to challenge existing critical notions of what is 'fundamental' to Shakespearean tragedy. She shows how, through a network of images clustered around feminine or feminized characters, these plays 'disfigure' conventional ideas of death as a bodily end, as their figures of women are interwoven with provocative meditations upon matter, time, the soul, and the body. The scope of these tragic speculations was radical in Shakespeare's day; yet they also have a surprising relevance to contemporary debates about time and matter in science and philosophy.

As She Likes It: Shakespeare's Unruly WomenAs She Likes It tackles the question of how the unruly women at the centre of Shakespeare's comedies have been embodied in performance.
Unique amongst both Shakespearean and feminist studies, As She Likes It asks how gender politics affect the production of the comedies, and how gender is represented, both in the text and on the stage.

Enter the Body: Women and Representation on Shakespeare's Stage

Enter the Body: Women and Representation on Shakespeare's StageEnter the Body speculates on how the theatre 'plays' women's bodies, and how audiences read them. Ideal for literature, theatre and gender studies courses, it covers topics such as sex, death, race, gender, culture and politics. Carol Rutter explores the five female characters, Ophelia, Cordelia, Emilia, Cressida and Cleopatra to reconstruct specific theatrical moments that put their bodies spectacularly in play.
One of the most provocative writers on women's performances of Shakespeare in Britain today, Rutter also situates these roles on the early modern stage, observing performers such as Kate Winslet, Judi Dench and Whoopi Goldberg.
