Engendering a Nation: A Feminist Account of Shakespeare's English Histories
Book •
Engendering a Nation adopts a sophisticated feminist analysis to examine the place of gender in contesting representations of nationhood in early modern England.
Taking the Shakespearean history play as their point of departure, the authors argue that the change from dynastic kingdom to modern nation was integrally connected to shifts in cultural understandings of gender and social roles for men and women.
The book covers plays including King John, Henry VI parts I-III, Richard III, Richard II, and Henry V, making an original contribution to feminist and historicist approaches to Renaissance drama.
