Lewis Narrator: Gregory T Luzitano Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins Release date: 06-05-20 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Shakespeare Publisher's Summary: In this fascinating study, Anthony J. Lewis argues that it is the hero himself, rejecting a woman he apprehends as a threat, who is love's own worst enemy. Drawing upon classical and Renaissance drama, iconography, and a wide range of traditional and feminist criticism, Lewis demonstrates that in Shakespeare the actions and reactions of hero and heroine are contingent upon social setting - father-son relations, patriarchal restrictions on women, and cultural assumptions about gender-appropriate behavior.
