Gender, Contract, and Shakespearean Social Space

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Kathryn Schwarz considers sixteenth- and seventeenth-century narratives in which women willingly conform to social conventions. She argues that these acts of compliance construct a paradox of prescribed choice, which illuminates complex relationships between hierarchy and contract within heterosocial systems.
