AB  - Reassesses character of cross-dressed page in early modern drama, particularly that of Viola in Twelfth Night, Bellario in Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher's Philaster, and Veramour in Nathan Field, John Fletcher, and Philip Massinger's Honest Man's Fortune. Applies transgender theory to figure of cross-dressed page in order to discuss "the 'real' and its relationship to deception, how imitation constitutes gender, the prosthetic materiality of gender, and the role of narrativization in constructing gender" and "seeks to define early trans identities beyond violence and exposure."
