This collection of original essays uses contemporary theory to examine Renaissance writers' reworking of Ovid's texts in order to analyze the strategies in the construction of the early modern discourses of gender, sexuality, and writing.

What is the body? How was it constructed, conceived, and cultivated before and after the advent of Cartesian rationalism and modern science? This interdisciplinary study elaborates a cultural genealogy of the body and its legacies to modernity by tracing its crucial redefinition from a lived experiential entity in the early modern period to its anatomical abstraction and disembodiment through mechanical and virtual philosophical models in the modern period. Emergent analogies of the body to a machine sundered the body from its subjective and worldly existence, reducing it to the abject condition of a thing. This progressive virtualization of the body implies the loss of the experiential lived body and recasts the question of sexuality within the purview of the organism-machine, consequently destroying its meaning as embodied expression. Rather than treating sexual difference as a given, as an anatomical or philosophical destiny, 'The culture of the body' challenges essentialist accounts of sexuality by demonstrating that human embodiment entails diverse processes of cultural and social materialization. It shows how these multiple genealogies of the body inflect both its inherited meanings and its legacy to modernity resulting in alternative ways for conceiving and representing the body today.

Enter the Body offers a series of provocative case studies of the work women's bodies do on Shakespeare's intensely body-conscious stage. Rutter's topics are sex, death, race, gender, culture, politics, and the excessive performative body that exceeds the playtext it inhabits. As well as drawing upon vital primary documents from Shakespeare's day, Rutter offers close readings of women's performance's on stage and film in Britian today, from Peggy Ashcroft's (white) Cleopatra and Whoopi Goldberg's (whiteface) African Queen to Sally Dexter's languorous Helen and Alan Howard's raver 'Queen' of Troy.
