Description
Shakespearean Tragedy and Gender offers a thought-provoking exploration of the tragic hero, examining the errors and sufferings of humankind through various feminist critical perspectives. This collection of essays draws on new historicism, psychoanalysis, poststructuralism, and autobiographical criticism to challenge traditional views of tragedy. The volume covers Shakespeare's early attempts at tragedy in Richard III and Titus Andronicus, as well as his major tragic period, with special attention given to Othello. By considering these works through a range of critical lenses, the authors mount a powerful critique of the tragic hero, shedding new light on the enduring relevance of Shakespeare's plays. This important volume is highly recommended for scholars and students seeking to deepen their understanding of Shakespeare's tragedies and their continued impact on feminist scholarship.
