Women of Will The Remarkable Evolution of Shakespeare’s Female Characters


Free Download Tina Packer, "Women of Will: The Remarkable Evolution of Shakespeare’s Female Characters"
English | 2016 | pages: 352 | ISBN: 0307745341 | EPUB | 1,0 mb
Women of Will is a fierce and funny exploration of Shakespeare’s understanding of the feminine. Tina Packer, one of our foremost Shakespeare experts, shows that Shakespeare began, in his early comedies, by writing women as shrews to be tamed or as sweet little things with no independence of thought. The women of the history plays are much more interesting, beginning with Joan of Arc. Then, with the extraordinary Juliet, there is a dramatic shift: suddenly Shakespeare’s women have depth, motivation, and understanding of life more than equal to that of the men. As Shakespeare ceases to write women as predictable caricatures and starts writing them from the inside, his women become as dimensional, spirited, spiritual, active, and sexual as any of his male characters. Wondering if Shakespeare had fallen in love (Packer considers with whom, and what she may have been like), the author observes that from Juliet on, Shakespeare’s characters demonstrate that when women and men are equal in status and passion, they can-and do-change the world.

‘It is my thesis that this general production of life, or subsistence production – mainly performed through the non-wage labour of women and other non-wage labourers as slaves, contract workers and peasants in the colonies – constitutes the perennial basis upon which "capitalist productive labour" can be built up and exploited.’

Welsh writing has recently undergone an international renaissance-however, very little of this attention has been directed toward women’s fiction. Aimed at a general audience with a broad array of interests, Contemporary Irish and Welsh Women’s Fiction is the first comparative study of fiction by late-twentieth and twenty-first-century women writers from Ireland, North Ireland, and Wales. This volume breaks new ground in its exploration of rich and critically-deserving texts that have previously been marginalized from much of Welsh and Irish literary fiction in English.

How far is the health of middle aged and older women shaped by biological, social, and psychological processes that begin in pre-natal development, in childhood, adolescence, or early adult life? Do health risks gradually accumulate over the life course or do mentioned factors as a child and young adult have interactive effects on health in midlife and beyond? Are women now reaching middle age in better health than previous generations? A group of international experts critically review the latest scientific evidence on biological and social factors at each stage of life that have long-term effects on reproductive outcomes, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal ageing, depression, body weights and body dissatisfaction. There is growing evidence that the sources of risk to physical and mental health occur across the course of life, not just in adult life, and in some instances reach right back to pre-natal development, or the previous generation.
