Most people who've studied a play by Shakespeare know a few basic facts about his female characters: They were played by boys; they often disguise themselves as men and thus become unrecognisable even to their families; at the end of the play they die (in tragedies) or get married (in comedies).
In this seminar we will read three plays in detail and several secondary texts. We will look at the historical conditions of play-acting, play-going (women in the audience) and plays at court (in front of Elizabethan England's star actress, the queen); and we will discuss modern adaptations of the plays to analyse the complex and challenging tensions between these Renaissance representations of women and 21st-century gender politics.
