Description

Explore the complex relationship between the female form and Shakespearean performance in Enter The Body. This work by Routledge examines how women's bodies function on an intensely body-conscious stage, moving beyond simple text to look at the physical presence of the performer. Through a series of provocative case studies, the book addresses themes of sex, death, race, gender, culture, and politics. It investigates the excessive performative body that extends past the written playtext. By combining primary documents from the Shakespearean era with modern analysis, the text provides a deep look at how gender and identity are constructed through movement and presence. Readers will find detailed close readings of both stage and film performances in Britain. The analysis covers a wide range of interpretations, from Peggy Ashcroft's Cleopatra and Whoopi Goldberg's African Queen to Sally Dexter's Helen and Alan Howard's Queen of Tr. This book is a significant resource for those studying the intersection of gender, performance, and historical drama.
