Taking as its common thread the overtly theatrical nature of early
modern society and its cultural and political manifestations this
book studies dramatic texts, dedications, autobiographies,
adaptations and performative practices, to prove that the
boundaries between on and off stage performances of gender are
blurred. Thus, the limits that separate theatre and life are highly
permeable and the relations between both are bidirectional: the
performativity of gender and identity is an idea that the theatre
takes from and transfers to society. This concept is applied to a
wide timeframe creating a dialogue between different historical
times and cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, the authors explore
sexualities as written and performed by both men and women,
offering a wider scope to determine whether and to what extent
normative gender roles are being questioned, contested or
reinforced.
