Description
Shakespeare and Women situates Shakespeare’s female characters in multiple historical contexts, ranging from the early modern England in which they originated to the contemporary Western world in which our own encounters with them are staged. The final chapter, “Shakespeare’s Timeless Women,” surveys the implication of Shakespeare’s female characters in the process of historical change, as they have been repeatedly updated to conform to changing conceptions of women’s nature and women’s social roles, serving in ever-changing guises as models of an unchanging, universal female nature.
