Book Synopsis Courtships, Marriage Customs, and Shakespeare's Comedies by : L. Giese
Book excerpt: Loreen L. Giese's study of over 5000 important folios of court depositions contemporary with Shakespeare's plays demonstrates the complex ways those plays participate in and comment upon their culture, rather than stand apart from it. Both the court records and the plays present women as agents who are capable of challenging their traditional roles.
