examines
the influence of the Elizabethan cross-dressed
tradition on the performance and conception of Shakespeare s female
roles through an analysis of all
205
extant plays written for the adult
theatre. The study provides both a historical context, showing how
performance practice developed in the era before Shakespeare, and a
comparative one, in revealing how dramatists in genetal treated their
female characters and the influence their characterisation had upon
Shakespeare s writing. The book challenges current views of the
sexual ethos of Elizabethan theatre, offering instead a picture of
Shakespeare which pays less attention to his supposed gender politics
and more to his ability to exploit the cross-dressed convention as a
dramatic medium. The late-adolescent performer identified here,
more capable of empathy, pethaps, than the received version of the
boy actress but often mockingly satirical, was ultimately, Mann
argues, disengaged from the roles he played and a spokesman for
the male point of view.
