  • Contributors come from across the feminist generations and from various stages in their careers to address what is new in the field in terms of historical and textual discovery
  • Explores issues vital to feminist inquiry, including race, sexuality, the body, queer politics, social economies, religion, and capitalism
  • In addition to highlighting changes, it draws attention to the strong continuities of scholarship in this field over the course of the history of feminist criticism of Shakespeare
