Abstract
The subject of this book, Shakespeare's conception of gender, is fascinating. Its approach, a feminist perspective on a major writer viewed as representative of his culture, is significant. Yet the book disappoints: even for a reader in sympathy with its aims and its approach, Shakespeare's Division of Experience is a dreary ordeal, a study which falls far short of fulfilling the high claims the author makes for it.
