Due to a participant's having to withdraw from the following panel, I am
resubmitting this call with the hope of finding a new panelist. Please
email one page abstracts to calfar@shiva.hunter.cuny.edu asap, but no
later than Monday Sept. 25, 2000.
"'Keen whips I'ld wear as rubies': Surviving Siblings in
the English Renaissance Drama."
The purpose of this panel is to interrogate the disenfranchised depiction
of daughters/sisters as represented by Shakespeare and his contemporaries
in Early Modern dramas. Specifically, I am interested in analyses of
exploited sisters who, with no parents around, fall prey to the whims of
their male siblings (for example: Claudio and Isabella in Measure for
Measure; Annabella in Ford's 'Tis Pity She's a Whore) or who, if a parent
is alive, must survive unfair treatment because they are not the preferred
daughter (Katherine in Taming of the Shrew).
