Resumen de Is There a Woman in this Text? Female Domination in Shakespeare's Henry VI
The purpose of this paper is to present a feminist, or at least gender-oriented, reading of Shakespeare's Henry W(1590-1591). These early history plays, depicting the Wars of the Roses, have always been interpreted as pseudo-historical pageant-like creations in which war clamour dominates the whole action. Consequently, they have been regarded as the poor debut of a young and inexperienced playwright. Using the insights offered by feminist literary criticism, 1 want to come to an artistic re-evaluation of these plays. As a ((resisting reader)), 1 draw attention to hose aspects that have always been marginalized: pain and sorrow and the protagonists' personal response to these feelings.
