Justice Women and Power in English Renaissance Drama 1st Table of contents:

• Introduction: Justice, Women, and Power in English Renaissance Drama (Andrew J. Majeske and Emily Detmer-Goebel)

  • This introductory chapter sets the stage for the collection, discussing the theoretical framework, the evolving concepts of justice in the Renaissance, and the significance of Lady Justice as a figure. It also likely explores Machiavelli’s ideas on politics and the subjection of women.

• Performative Subversions: Portia, Language, and the Law in The Merchant of Venice (Kathryn R. Finin)

  • This essay likely analyzes Portia’s role in the trial scene, focusing on her use of language and legal interpretation to subvert gender and legal norms.

• Proceed in Justice: Narratives of Marital Betrayal in The Winter’s Tale (Cristina Leon Alfar)

  • This chapter examines how Paulina and Hermione in The Winter’s Tale reshape conventional narratives of law and gender to challenge the masculinist system of authority.

• Poisoned Justice: Passion and Politics in The Winter’s Tale (Another essay focusing on The Winter’s Tale, perhaps with a different emphasis on justice, passion, and political implications.)

• The Trials of Mary Stuart: Anxious Circulations in John Webster’s Drama (Catherine E. Thomas)

  • This essay likely connects the historical figure of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the public anxieties surrounding her, to the trial scenes and themes in Webster’s plays like The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi.

• Forensic Performances: Evidentiary Narrative in Arden of Faversham (Carol Blessing)

  • This chapter probably explores how narratives of evidence are constructed and presented in the anonymous play Arden of Faversham, focusing on the “forensic” aspects of the drama.

• Shakespeare’s Bed-Tricks: Finding Justice in Lies? (Cheryl Dudgeon)

  • This essay investigates the “bed-trick” motif in Shakespeare’s plays (e.g., All’s Well That Ends Well, Measure for Measure), examining how these deceptive practices empower women and whether they ultimately lead to a form of justice.

• What Is Yours Is Mine: Sexual and Social Complementarity in the Trial Scenes of Measure for Measure (Emily Detmer-Goebel)

  • This chapter likely focuses on the trial scenes in Measure for Measure, analyzing the interplay between sexual and social dynamics and the concept of complementarity in achieving justice.

• Striking a Deal: Portia’s Trial Strategy in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice (David Evett)

  • This essay provides another perspective on Portia’s legal strategies in The Merchant of Venice, perhaps emphasizing the commercial and bargaining aspects of her manipulation of the law.
