Review

'While an eclectic approach draws on semiotics and psychoanalysis as well as philosophy and performance theory, Gunsberg remains alert to regional variation and to socio-economic shifts.' New Theatre Quarterly Book Reviews

Book Description

Maggie Günsberg 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.
