Description

Explore the complex history of Shakespeare's Ophelia through the lens of nineteenth-century Britain. In this interdisciplinary study, Kimberly Rhodes examines how the representation of women's bodies was regulated by public and private institutions during the Victorian era. Ophelia served as an idealized template for Victorian womanhood, appearing frequently in the cultural landscape of the time. This book tracks the many ways Ophelia was interpreted, spanning from the works of visual artists and writers to contemporary character interpretations.
