Gender in Play on the Shakespearean Stage examines the use of this type of character--man playing woman playing man--by framing five plays by Shakespeare against readings of some of the other "female page" plays written by other playwrights of the period. The many variations Michael Shapiro traces are placed in the context of female cross-dressing as a social phenomenon and in the context of female impersonation as the standard way of representing women on the Shakespearean stage. Shakespeare's use of the female page spanned his entire career: The Two Gentlemen of Verona (an early comedy), The Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, Twelfth Night (mature romantic comedies), and Cymbeline (a late romance). Shapiro deploys several modes of literary criticism to establish the distinctiveness of each of Shakespeare's five disguised heroine plays and to trace the subtle and ingenious variations on the motif by such writers as Greene, Fletcher, Chapman, Middleton, Jonson, and Ford. The popularity of the "female page" is examined as a playful literary and theatrical way of confronting, avoiding, or merely exploiting issues such as the place of women in a patriarchal culture and the representation of women on stage. Looking beyond and behind the stage for the cultural anxieties that cross-dressing London women being punished as prostitutes and speculation that the apprentices who played female roles in adult companies engaged in homoerotic practices. [This book] will appeal not only to scholars of Renaissance drama but to any reader interested in the historical construction and analysis of gender and sexuality, both on- and offstage"-- Back cover. 606 $aThea?tre$zAngleterre (GB)$xIdentite sexuelle$xDans la litterature$2ram 606 $aThea?tre$zAngleterre (GB)$y17e siecle$2ram 606 $aThea?tre$zAngleterre (GB)$y16e siecle$2ram 606 $aRo?le selon le sexe$xDans la litterature$2ram 606 $aWomen in the theater$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01178050 606 $aWomen in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01177912 606 $aTheater$xCasting$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01149228 606 $aTheater$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01149217 606 $aSex role in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01114649 606 $aGender identity in the theater$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01742638 606 $aGender identity in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00939607 606 $aDisguise in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00895222 606 $aCross-dressing in literature$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01904976 606 $aChild actors$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00854279 606 $aTravestisme dans la litterature 606 $aFemmes dans la litterature 606 $aDeguisement dans la litterature 606 $aRo?le selon le sexe dans la litterature 606 $aIdentite de genre dans la litterature 606 $aEnfants acteurs$zAngleterre$xHistoire$y17e siecle 606 $aEnfants acteurs$zAngleterre$xHistoire$y16e siecle 606 $aFemmes au thea?tre$zAngleterre$xHistoire$y17e siecle 606 $aFemmes au thea?tre$zAngleterre$xHistoire$y16e siecle 606 $aIdentite de genre au thea?tre$zAngleterre$xHistoire$y17e siecle 606 $aIdentite de genre au thea?tre$zAngleterre$xHistoire$y16e siecle 606 $aThea?tre$xDistribution artistique$zAngleterre$xHistoire$y17e siecle 606 $aThea?tre$xDistribution artistique$zAngleterre$xHistoire$y16e siecle 606 $aCross-dressing in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aDisguise in literature 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aGender identity in literature 606 $aChild actors$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aChild actors$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aWomen in the theater$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aWomen in the theater$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aGender identity in the theater$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aGender identity in the theater$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aTheater$xCasting$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aTheater$xCasting$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aEngland$2fast 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aThea?tre$xIdentite sexuelle$xDans la litterature. 615 7$aThea?tre 615 7$aThea?tre 615 7$aRo?le selon le sexe$xDans la litterature. 615 7$aWomen in the theater. 615 7$aWomen in literature. 615 7$aTheater$xCasting. 615 7$aTheater. 615 7$aSex role in literature. 615 7$aGender identity in the theater. 615 7$aGender identity in literature. 615 7$aDisguise in literature. 615 7$aCross-dressing in literature. 615 7$aChild actors. 615 6$aTravestisme dans la litterature. 615 6$aFemmes dans la litterature. 615 6$aDeguisement dans la litterature. 615 6$aRo?le selon le sexe dans la litterature. 615 6$aIdentite de genre dans la litterature. 615 6$aEnfants acteurs$xHistoire 615 6$aEnfants acteurs$xHistoire 615 6$aFemmes au thea?tre$xHistoire 615 6$aFemmes au thea?tre$xHistoire 615 6$aIdentite de genre au thea?tre$xHistoire 615 6$aIdentite de genre au thea?tre$xHistoire 615 6$aThea?tre$xDistribution artistique$xHistoire 615 6$aThea?tre$xDistribution artistique$xHistoire 615 0$aCross-dressing in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aDisguise in literature. 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aGender identity in literature. 615 0$aChild actors$xHistory 615 0$aChild actors$xHistory 615 0$aWomen in the theater$xHistory 615 0$aWomen in the theater$xHistory 615 0$aGender identity in the theater$xHistory 615 0$aGender identity in the theater$xHistory 615 0$aTheater$xCasting$xHistory 615 0$aTheater$xCasting$xHistory 700 $aShapiro$b Michael$f1938-$01379377 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735592903321 996 $aGender in Play on the Shakespearean Stage$93419000 997 $aUNINA
