Summary:

'The Diva's Gift to the Shakespearean Stage' traces the transnational connections between Shakespeare's all-male stage and the first female stars in the West. The book uses Italian and English plays and other sources to explore this relationship, focusing on the gifted actress who radically altered female roles and expanded the horizons of drama just as the English were building their first paying theatres.
