Rutter's topics are sex, death, race, gender, culture, politics, and the excessive performative body that exceeds the playtext it inhabits. As well as drawing upon vital primary documents from Shakespeare's day, Rutter offers close readings of women's performance's on stage and film in Britain today, from Peggy Ashcroft's (white) Cleopatra and Whoopi Goldberg's (whiteface) African Queen to Sally Dexter's languorous Helen and Alan Howard's raver 'Queen' of Troy.Human body in literatureWomen in literatureHuman body in literature.Women in literature.822.3/3Rutter Carol Chillington687749MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962262303321Enter the body1232604UNINA
