Sommario/riassunto |
|
Analyzing the plays of Shakespeare, Fletcher, Davenant, Dryden, Behn and other playwrights, Heidi Hutner argues that in drama, as in historical accounts, the symbol of the native woman is used to justify the English commodification and exploitation of the New World and its native inhabitants. |
