内容説明

These essays mount a powerful critique of the tragic hero as representative of the errors and sufferings of humankind. From a variety of critical perspectives including feminist new historicism, psychoanalysis, poststructuralism, and autobiographical criticism authors examine Shakespeare's construction of tragic subjectivity, the location of women in the scene of tragic action, and the social discourses that combine to elevate the hero's status while marginalizing, silencing, or eliminating female authority and presence. While considering Shakespeare's earliest attempts at tragedy in "Richard III" and "Titus Andronicus", this volume also covers the major tragic period, giving special attention to "Othello". The contributors are Janet Adelman, Linda Charnes, Carol Cook, Sara Eaton, Shirley Nelson Garner, Gayle Greene, Margo Hendricks, Copp lia Kahn, Carol Thomas Neely, Lena Cowen Orlin, Phyllis Rackin, Mary Beth Rose, and Madelon Sprengnether.
