This book examines the treatment of women in 205 plays by Shakespeare's predecessors and contemporaries, exploring their influence on his work. By challenging the gay and polemical feminist accounts currently dominating the treatment of Elizabethan cross-dressing, the book restores its importance as a mainstream performance topic for academics and students.
