Zusammenfassung
The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Embodiment brings together 42 of the most important scholars writing on the subject today. They explore representations of gender in the context of race, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, and religion, and consider Shakespeare's life, contemporary editing practices, and the performance of his plays.
Zusatztext
the volume's forty-three contributors can trace a feminism whose theoretical and historical concerns intersect with other identity-based critical approaches such as queer theory, critical race theory, disability studies, animal studies, and postcolonial studies, as well as historical phenomenology and the new materialism. As this suggests, the volume makes a particularly urgent and timely contribution to our field.
