Hamlet's Hereditary Queen

This book explores a fresh and insightful interpretation of Hamlet's Gertrude as a prominent and powerful figure within the play. It shows how traditional readings of this character, both performance-based and scholarly, have been guided and constrained by misogynistic perspectives on female power.
