Overview
Engendering a Nation: A Feminist Account of Shakespeare's English Histories adopts a sophisticated feminist analysis to examine the place of gender in contesting representations of nationhood in early modern England. With chapters on each of Shakespeare's nineElizabethan history plays, the authors argue that the change from dynastic kingdom to modern nation was integrally connected to shifts in cultural understandings of gender and of the social roles appropriate to men and women.
