The Interpretation of Material Shapes in Puritanism: A Study of Rhetoric, Prejudice, and Violence.Ann Kibbey

concedes such problems with seeming reluctance. If the plays had been entirely successful, one infers, their moral endings would have been well integrated. Although the author's quests for order occasionally seem reductive (the description of the Athens of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream as a paradigm of justice and civility seem downright bizarre, in view of the patriarchal arbitrariness of the laws about marriage enacted there), they are always thought provoking and at his best highly illuminating. He shows in some detail, for exampte, how love and marriage, related to cosmic polarities by Renaissance writers, do not represent the narrowing of dramatic focus of later domestic plays. The interlocking dualities of Women Beware Women are therefore various and dynamic, with whole scenes (including the "oxymoronic" court masque at the end) assuming the status of the puns that are such a prominent feature of its language. The analysis is a brilliant one, as are many in the book. This is a rewarding study that carries its historical and philosophical learning with lightness and grace; even more importantly, it seeks always to make ideological concerns directly relevant to the theatrical dynamics of the plays under discussion.
