(Re)defining gender in early modern English drama
This book studies dramatic texts, dedications, autobiographies, adaptations and performative practices, to prove that the boundaries between on and off stage performances of gender are blurred. The limits that separate theatre and life are highly permeable and the relations between both are bidirectional: the performativity of gender and identity.
