Routledge Revivals: Shakespeare and Feminist Criticism (1991)

First published in 1991, this book is the first annotated bibliography of feminist Shakespeare criticism from 1975 to 1988 a period that saw a remarkable amount of ground-breaking work. While the primary focus is on feminist studies of Shakespeare, it also includes wide-ranging works on language, desire, role-playing, theatre conventions, marriage, and Elizabethan and Jacobean culture shedding light on Shakespeares views on and representation of women, sex and gender. Accompanying the 439 entries are extensive, informative annotations that strive to maintain the original authors perspective, supplying a careful and thorough account of the main points of an article.
