Full Description

The present volume studies the concept of theatricality in early modern English drama (1606-1705) through the analysis of an array of cultural products, including dramatic texts, dedications, autobiographies, adaptations and performative practices (on and off stage). Special attention is paid to the permeability of the boundaries between theatre and (social) life, which are viewed as mutually influencing spaces where normative gender can be reinforced, naturalised, subverted and/or contested. The contributors explore relations of power through the analysis of male and female sexualities as written and performed by both men and women, to determine to what extent the gendered power hierarchy is destabilised or legitimised.
