Title: Great, insightful, handy
Product review: Great, well-written scholarly book on Shakespeare's female characters and how Elizabethan patriarchy shaped (or didn't shape) the playwright's interpretation of their sex and relations with men. Offers great insight into the Elizabethan time with lot's of historical background and examples. Rackin definitely did her homework with this one. She does drone on at times, but the material is very rich and great for scholarly papers on Shakespeare that are centralized in feminist/historicism theories.Book is quite compact making it very accessible and easy to carry around as well. Great for college students alike (undergraduate and graduate).
