Description

Explore the presence of child characters in the Shakespearean canon with this scholarly study from Bloomsbury. While Shakespeare features more child characters than any other early modern playwright, this book examines how those roles are reflected and reinterpreted in stage and film productions from the last forty years. Gemma Miller uses an interdisciplinary approach to look at these characters through the lenses of semiotics, childhood studies, queer theory, and performance studies. By conducting a close analysis of both the original texts and modern performances, this work provides a deep look into how childhood is represented in contemporary theatre and film.
