Comment: Re: SHK 8.0201 Re: Feminist Criticism
Another useful source might be the anthology of criticism compiled by Deborah
Barker and Ivo Kamps, *Shakespeare and Gender: A History* (Verso, 1995). It's
a superb overview of different approaches within the wider rubric of
gender-oriented criticism on Shakespeare.
Cheers,
Douglas Lanier

Comment: Re: SHK 8.0201 Re: Feminist Criticism
Carol Thomas Neeley's BROKEN NUPTIALS also has a good chapter on ALL'S WELL
(which I don't think is in the WOMAN'S PART--though I forget) and a newer
chapter that takes a different kind of feminist approach (linking gender to
rhetoric rather than say genre) is in Christy Desmet's READING SHAKESPEARE'S
CHARACTERS (U_Mass, 1992).....
Chris Stroffolino
(P.S. "Being a man" (you may guess what I am--to paraphrase Don Pedro), I may
be skeptical of feminist critics, but no more than I am of Shakepeare's
strongest female characters, or even Gratiano's "strumpet wind" speech).
