Book Synopsis Girlhood of Shakespeare's Sisters by : Jennifer Higginbotham
Download or read book Girlhood of Shakespeare's Sisters written by Jennifer Higginbotham. This book was released on 2013-01-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first sustained study of girls and girlhood in early modern literature and culture. Jennifer Higginbotham makes a persuasive case for a paradigm shift in our current conceptions of the early modern sex-gender system. She challenges the widespread assumption that the category of the 'girl' played little or no role in the construction of gender in early modern English culture. And she demonstrates that girl characters appeared in a variety of texts, from female infants in Shakespeare's late romances to little children in Tudor interludes to adult 'roaring girls' in city comedies. This monograph provides the first book-length study of the way the literature and drama of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries constructed the category of the 'girl'.

Book Synopsis The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines by : Mary Cowden Clarke
Download or read book The Girlhood of Shakespeare's Heroines written by Mary Cowden Clarke. This book was released on 2009-07-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Cowden Clarke (1809-98) was the daughter of the publisher Vincent Novello. She produced a complete concordance to Shakespeare's works in 1845, and her fascination with the plays led to her publishing in 1850 a series of imaginative accounts of the girlhood of some of his heroines. Her motive was 'to imagine the possible circumstances and influences of scene, event, and associate, surrounding the infant life of his heroines, which might have conduced to originate and foster those germs of character recognised in their maturity as by him developed; to conjecture what might have been the first imperfect dawnings of that which he has shown us in the meridian blaze of perfection'. These 'prequels' offer a back-story which is surprising in its subversive interpretation of the plays and especially of the role of the 'hero'. Volume 3 includes the stories of Beatrice and Hero.
