Shakespeare and the Performance of Girlhood

Palgrave Shakespeare Studies General Editors: Michael Dobson and Dympna Callaghan Co-founding Editor: Gail Kern Paster

Palgrave Shakespeare Studies takes Shakespeare as its focus but strives to understand the significance of his oeuvre in relation to his contemporaries, subsequent writers and historical and political contexts. By extending the scope of Shakespeare and English Renaissance Studies the series will open up the field to examinations of previously neglected aspects or sources in the period’s art and thought. Titles in the Palgrave Shakespeare Studies series seek to understand anew both where the literary achievements of the English Renaissance came from and where they have brought us. Titles include: Pascale Aebischer, Edward J. Esche and Nigel Wheale (editors) REMAKING SHAKESPEARE Performance across Media, Genres and Cultures James P. Bednarz SHAKESPEARE AND THE TRUTH OF LOVE The Mystery of ‘The Phoenix and Turtle’ Silvia Bigliazzi and Lisanna Calvi (editors) REVISITING THE TEMPEST The Capacity to Signify Mark Thornton Burnett FILMING SHAKESPEARE IN THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE Carla Dente and Sara Soncini (editors) SHAKESPEARE AND CONFLICT A European Perspective Cary DiPietro and Hugh Grady (editors) SHAKESPEARE AND THE URGENCY OF NOW Criticism and Theory in the 21st Century Kate Flaherty, Penny Gay and L. E.
