Introduction : the destined livery? : tragedy, performance, subject and spectator

Part I. Realism and reinscription

What we are, but not what we may be : the feminist Ophelia and the (re)production of gender

An actor in the main of all : individual and relational selves in The Duchess of Malfi

The natural father and the imaginary daughter : patriarchy as realism and representation in Titus

Part II. Performance and performativity

"Let me forget myself" : what a queen is good for in Edward II

Death and the married maiden : gender reproduction as destruction in The broken heart

Tricked like a bride : a new traffic in A woman killed with kindness

Conclusion : cultural drag; or, Hamlet and Ophelia redux.
