| Summary |
"Shakespeare is not our contemporary, the contributors to Shakespearean Tragedy and Gender emphatically conclude--yet coping with his cultural influence is never a simple matter. Ranging from Shakespeare's earliest attempts at tragedy in Richard III and Titus Andronicus, this volume covers the major tragic period, giving special attention to Othello"--Back cover. |
