- Description
- Reads various adaptations of WBPT in light of the time in which each of the individual "iterations" of the Wife was produced, from scribal adjustments in manuscripts, to ballad versions, to John Gay's dramatic adaptation and William Blake's commentary, to the BBC television version and Marcia Williams's graphic version for children (2007). Includes recurrent concern with the "ethics of gender."
