Riassunto

Angela Thirlwell explores the fictitious life and the many after-lives of Rosalind, Shakespeare's progressive new heroine, and her perennial influence on drama, fiction and art. The book ranges widely across Tudor history, theatre history, sexual politics, autobiography, art history and filmography. This highly original 'biography' of Rosalind - Shakespeare's greatest female creation - contains exclusive new interviews with Juliet Rylance, Sally Scott, Janet Suzman, Juliet Stevenson, Michelle Terry, award-winning director Blanche McIntyre, as well as insights from Michael Attenborough, Kenneth Branagh, Greg Doran, Rebecca Hall, Adrian Lester, Pippa Nixon, Vanessa Redgrave and Fiona Shaw.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'An ambitious exploration of Elizabethan England, sexual politics and the history of theatre, art and film... innovative biography is what Thirlwell does best.' --Daily Telegraph

'Highly ingenious' --Times Literary Supplement

'This delightfully rambling text is more properly described as a blend of literary criticism and theater history... A model of popular Shakespearean scholarship: engagingly accessible and contagiously enthusiastic.' --Kirkus Reviews

L'autore:

Angela Thirlwell likes to push the boundaries of biography. She used a thematic 'spots of time' approach in William and Lucy, and interpreted Ford Madox Brown through the lenses of the 4 women in his life in Into the Frame. This time she's chosen Shakespeare's inspirational heroine, Rosalind, a character who has never lived and therefore can never die. No need for the biographer's usual death bed scene.
