Recenzii

'This sophisticated yet very readable study explores the impact of debates about gender on recent interpretations of early modern tragedy, on stage and celluloid. Roberta Barker uses her specialist knowledge of Renaissance culture and expertise in feminist theory to analyse how challenges to conventional gender roles have shaped a diverse range of key productions, from RSC stagings of The Duchess of Malfi and other Jacobean tragedies to Derek Jarman's Edward II . In the process, she presents a compelling new perspective on the demands of late twentieth-century theatre- or film-going that charts the different ways in which such productions appeal to the politically engaged spectator. Barker also demonstrates how these dramatic reengagements with early modern culture allude repeatedly to the disturbing fluidity of identity concealed behind the superficial destiny that is imposed by gender.' - Philippa Berry, Department of English, University of Bristol, UK
