'Elegantly and forcefully, Hailey Bachrach highlights the vital dramaturgical of role of women and characters in feminine figural positions in Shakespeare's history plays, revealing how gender in Shakespeare's histories is inextricably linked to political but also theatrical forms of power. The result is a compelling, invigorating study of the history plays that heralds the arrival of a new generation of feminist Shakespeare scholarship.'
