Drawing upon the work of anthropologists, psychologists and
sociologists, Marjorie Garber examines the rites of passage and
maturation patterns--"coming of age"--in Shakespeare's plays.
Citing examples from virutally the entire Shakespeare canon, she
pays particular attention to the way his characters grow and change
at points of personal crisis. Among the crises Garber discusses
are: separation from parent or sibling in preparation for sexual
love and the choice of husband or wife; the use of names and
nicknames as a sign of individual exploits or status; virginity,
sexual initiation and the acceptance of sexual maturity,
childbearing and parenthood; and, finally, attitudes toward death
and dying.
In this fascinating and original analysis, Marjorie Garber
explores the ways in which the Shakespearean protagonist is
challenged to change as his or her circumstances change--to adapt
to the world and the people around him, and to come to terms with
the nature and finitude of the human condition.
