A feminist analysis of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Dusinberre argues that Puritan teaching on sexuality and spiritual equality raises questions about women which feed into the drama, where the role of women in relation to authority structures is constantly renegotiated.
This study explores the immense popularity of Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 1 and 2, relating both plays to the society that produced them, and as contributions to more permanent political issues.
