Description: Stone effects a return to gender in Shakespeare studies through a feminist psychoanalytic look at those of the Bard's tragedies and comedies that include elements of gender crossing or cross-dressing. Through close, linguistic readings of plays including Othello, Hamlet, Richard II, Antony and Cleopatra, Twelfth Night, and Cymbeline, Stone offers a sophisticated critique of gender and difference as depicted in Renaissance and Shakespearean texts.
