Shakespeare’s Globe will be hosting a seminar that assembles a small group of postgraduate scholars to examine gender in early modern England. How was gender constructed throughout this period? And how was it represented in early modern drama? The seminar is open to research students, theatre practitioners and academics.
Papers include:
Helen Barker (Shakespeare Institute): Reviewing Rape in Early Modern England
Sarah Lewis (King’s College London): Ophelia “in russet mantle clad”: the delayed daughters of Hamlet and Patient Grisill
Claire Waters (St. Catherine’s College, Oxford): Shakespeare’s Other Women: Approaching Female Ageing in Shakespeare’s Drama
This is a free event, but please register by sending your name and institution affiliation to globeresearch@hotmail.co.uk.
