In this text, the author Philippa Berry rewrites critical
perceptions of death in Shakespeare's tragedies from a feminist
perspective. Drawing on feminist theory, postmodern thought and
queer theory, Berry challenges existing critical notions of what is
"fundamental" to Shakespearean tragedy. She argues that there is a
figurative rejection of death as terminus, which owes more to pagan
thought than Christian. Through a close reading of the main
tragedies, Berry discovers a sensuous and meditative Shakespearean
discourse of materialism. Her theoretical and textual insights into
the properties of matter, time, the soul, and the body now have
relevance to contemporary debates about time and matter in science
and philosophy.
