Description
This study enlists both postmodern theory and early modern history in a cultural reading of the construction of sex, gender, and sexuality in Dido, Queene of Carthage, Tamburlaine I and II, Edward II, and Doctor Faustus. Some of the aspects of the plays explored in this study include the symmetry or assymetry of gender; the representation of gender as natural and universal or discursively constructed; the reinforcement or subversion of traditional gender traits, gender principles, and gender structures; and the relationship of sex, gender, and sexuality.
