Review
"Dexterously employing an interdisciplinary approach derived from semiotics, psychoanalysis, feminism, and dramatic theory (and writing with uncommon verve and lucidity)...the author maintains a skillful balance between analysis of intrinsically theatrical issues (dramatic form, plot convention, etc.) and attention to the socioeconomic context of institutions, writers, performers, and audience. Its broad historical scope and its focus on issues of representation set this useful work apart from both studies of women's authorship and more tightly focused examinations of particular aspects of theatrical tradition." S. Botterill, Choice

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Maggie Guensberg explores the intersection between gender portrayal and other social categories of class, age and the family in the Italian theatre from the Renaissance to the present day. She examines the developing relationship between patriarchal strategies and the formal properties of the dramatic genre such as plot, comedy and realism. She also considers conventions specific to drama in performance, including images of both femininity and masculinity. An interdisciplinary approach, drawing on semiotics, psychoanalysis, philosophy, theories of spectatorship and dramatic theory from a feminist perspective, informs Guensberg's critique of landmarks in Italian theatrical history, including work by Machiavelli, Ariosto, Goldoni, D'Annunzio and Pirandello. The book concludes with a chapter on the plays of Franca Rame, assessing the impact of this important figure on contemporary Italian theatre. Maggie Ginsberg explores gender portrayal on the Italian stage, and its shifting relationship with other social categories of class, age and the family over the past five centuries. An interdisciplinary approach informs her critique of many of the landmarks of Italian theatre, from Machiavelli to Franca Rame. This item is printed on demand.
