Description

Studies the social and sexual roles of leading female characters in English drama from the late 1590s to the early 1630s, beginning with an analysis of female characters' experience of the 'love-death nexus' in four of Shakespeare's plays and concludes with a consideration of the 'lost' status and state ascribed to 'loose' women in plays by some of Shakespeare's major contemporaries.
