"Re-Visioning Lear's Daughters" offers a feminist reinterpretation of King Lear, portraying Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia as complex characters rather than mere stereotypes. Through detailed analysis and theatrical renderings, it showcases the flexibility of Shakespeare's text and challenges traditional views on gender roles in the play.
Focusing on the interplay of gender and species in Chaucer's poetry, this analysis employs an ecofeminist perspective to explore how medieval discourse is adapted. It examines texts featuring animals or anthropomorphized creatures, revealing fresh insights into how medieval literature addresses societal 'others.' By highlighting these interactions, the book sheds light on Chaucer's unique contributions to understanding the complexities of identity and representation in his works.
