ShakespeareŽs orchards and the Rosalind-principle

Meer over het boek

The paper explores the theme of nature as a healing force in two pairs of twinned Shakespearean plays. It examines the interplay between green and human nature, suggesting that Elizabethan notions of femininity align with natural qualities. Through spatial analysis, it highlights the creative potential found in the intermediate spaces between patriarchal and natural realms, as well as the fluidity of gender behaviors perceived in Shakespeare's era.
