There is so much quality criticism regarding anti-female bias in classical writing, but this treatise was very repetitive and not consistent. The academic reviews I read did not priase this book, but I felt that could be due to anti-female bias. It was not. Her arguments do not hold. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
William Shakespeare regarded men and women quite differently. In his early plays, the so-called masculine qualities of prowess, bravery, and individualism were accorded more respect than feminine attributes of mercy, compassion, and intuitiveness. Yet, in his later plays, there is evidence of a reversal in Shakespeare's attitudes, a new fear of the power of the masculine principle and new admiration for the feminine.Marilyn French, author of the acclaimed novels THE WOMEN'S ROOM and THE BLEEDING HEART, offers a feminist perspective on each of Shakespeare's plays. More than a brilliantly original literary interpretation, this fascinating volume provides penetrating insight into attitudes toward men, women, love, and power in Western culture. A feminist's view of William Shakespeare . . .
