This work takes gender as its point of entry into the comedies of
Carlo Goldoni (1707-93). The dramatization of femininity and
masculinity is explored in conjunction with that of other social
categories (class, the family, and age). The plays reinforce the
patriarchal association of femininity with the body, with
spectacle, and with theatricality, while the dramatic backdrop of
Venice and carnival provides a context for the staging of issues
relating to identity, disguise and fashion. In the plays, pretence
and theatricality vie with bourgeois Enlightenment values of
morality, honesty and respectability to produce dramatic tension
with distinct gender implications.
