Description

Explore the complex history of gender through the lens of theatrical performance. Staging Masculinities: History, Gender, Performance examines how the concept of being a man has changed over time. Drawing on Shakespearean ideas, this work looks at masculinity not as a fixed identity, but as a site of contradictions and constant change. This book investigates how different ideas of manhood have been represented and critiqued on Western and English stages. By mapping the history of these representations, the text provides a deep look at how theatrical performances reflect and shape social views on gender. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of theatre history and gender theory, offering a way to understand how the stage acts as a mirror for evolving social norms.
