Playing with Gender: The Comedies of Goldoni (Italian Perspectives)

Maggie Gunsberg

4.9/5 (10062 ratings)

Description:This book takes gender as its point of entry into the comedies of Carlo Goldoni (170793). The dramatization of femininity and masculinity is explored in conjunction with that of other social categories (class, the family, age). The plays reinforce the patriarchal association of femininity with the body, with spectacle, and with theatricality, while the dramatic backdrop of Venice and carnival provides a unique context for the staging of issues relating to identity, disguise and fashion. In the plays, pretence and theatricality vie with bourgeois Enlightenment values of morality, honesty and respectability to produce dramatic tension with distinct gender implications. Maggie Guensberg is the author of Patriarchal Representations: Gender and Discourse in Pirandellois Theatre, Gender and the Italian Stage: from the Renaissance to the Present, and The Epic Rhetoric of Tasso: Theory and Practice, and is currently working on a book entitled Bellissima: Gender, Genre and Italian Cinema. She is Professor of Italian at the University of Manchester.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
