Description:
The question is not whether Shakespeare studies needs feminism, but whether feminism needs Shakespeare. This is the explicitly political approach taken by the all-woman team of contributors to A Feminist Companion to Shakespeare. These eminent scholars address such issues vital to feminist inquiry as race, sexuality, the body, queer politics, and the advent of capitalism. In a refreshing departure from the uncertainties of deconstruction and the inscrutabilities of new historicism, which have beaten a retreat from intervention criticism, this volume suffers no uncertainty about its political priorities.
