| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xii, 275 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 07 Oct 2020). |
| Contents | Introduction: The actions and delays of gendered temporalities -- Virtuous delay : the enduring patient wife -- Transgressive action : the impatient prodigal husband -- Waiting and taking : the temporally conflicted revenger -- The delay's the thing : patience, prodigality and revenge in venge in Hamlet -- Conclusion: Echoes. |
| Summary | This book analyses the cultural and theatrical intersections of early modern temporal concepts and gendered identities. Through close readings of the works of Shakespeare, Middleton, Dekker, Heywood and others, across the genres of domestic comedy, city comedy and revenge tragedy, Sarah Lewis shows how temporal tropes are used to delineate masculinity and femininity on the early modern stage, and vice versa. She sets out the ways in which the temporal constructs of patience, prodigality and revenge, as well as the dramatic identities that are built from those constructs, and the experience of playgoing itself, negotiate a fraught opposition between action in the moment and delay in the duration. This book argues that looking at time through the lens of gender, and gender through the lens of time, is crucial if we are to develop our understanding of the early modern cultural construction of both. |
