Old, Bold and Wont Be Told: Shakespeares Amazing Ageing Ladies
English
By (author): Yvonne Oram
Old women in Early Modern plays are stereotypically presented as ugly, randy, mouthy, mad. So Shakespeare is rare among dramatists of the day for his lively and empowering depictions of ageing ladies. This well-researched, accessible book looks at the way his old women subvert the stereotypes. There is particular focus on Paulina in The Winters Tale as a uniquely powerful old woman.
