AB  - "Examine[s] issues of gender and sexual identity in Shakespeare's drama by looking at how one particular woman reader of the seventeenth century, Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle, perceived femininity in [Shakespeare's] plays." "Look[s] at what can be read as a commentary on the ambivalent ending of Measure for Measure in her own Convent of Pleasure (1668) to try and offer a contextualized reflection on notions of gender expectations, and issues of reception." English summary, 257.
