Ever since the late eighteenth century, scores of iconoclastic actresses have played Shakespeare's greatest role, symbolising shifting attitudes to gender. Painters, novelists, playwrights and film-makers have also re-imagined Hamlet as female. Linking theatre, literature, the visual arts and film, this book investigates the extraordinary phenomenon of the female Hamlet.
