In London our Vice President Stephen Fry honoured us with his ‘svelte’ presence and a great speech about Noël who he Econfessed was someone he never met but who had shaped so much of his approach to life.

Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Alison Findlay. Without her advice, kindness and patience, I would be completely lost.

I am also indebted to Dr. Liz Oakley-Brown, Professor Geraldine Harris, Dr. Karen Juers-Munby, Dr. Kamilla Elliott, Professor Hilary Hinds and Professor Stuart Hampton-Reeves for their helpful suggestions during the annual, upgrade, mock viva and viva panels. I would like to acknowledge the Shakespeare Centre Library and Archive, the National Theatre Archive, the Shakespeare’s Globe Library and Archives, the Theatre Collection at the University of Bristol, the National Art Library and the Folger Shakespeare Library on where many of my materials are based.

  • Shakespeare's Isabella and Cressida on the Modern Stage
    ''Shrewd Tempters with their Tongues..,: Shakespeare's Isabella and Cressida on the Modern Stage Anna Kamaralli A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts, School of Theatre, Film and Dance of the University ofNSW In partial fulfillment of the degree ofMA(Hons) 2002 ii Abstract Shakespeare's Isabella (Measure for Measure) and Cressida (Troilus and Cressida) share an unusual critical and theatrical history. Unappreciated o:ri stage, contentious on the page, they have traditionally provoked discomfort among critics, wl).o l).ave ~~€::J:'! quicker to see them as morally reprehensible than to note their positive qualities. Seemingly at polar opposites of the personal and moral spectrum, the two share an independence of spirit, a refusal to conform to the desires and requirements of men, and a power to polarize opinion. This thesis considers the ways in which attitudes to Isabella and Cressida on the English­ speaking stage have shifted, over the latter half of the twentieth century, in the light of an escalating public awareness of issues of feminism and gender politics. Against a close reading of Shakespeare's text, both literary and performance criticism are examined, together with archival material relating to theatre productions of the plays, primarily by the Royal Shakespeare Company. The thesis concludes that in the case of both characters a change is indeed discemable. For Isabella, it is informed by the idea that the ethical code to which she adheres deserves respect, and that her marriage to the Duke is neither inevitable, nor inevitably welcomed by her. Cressida has undergone a more dramatic change: she is no longer assumed to be constitutionally immoral, and her behaviour is examined without preconception.
