Patriarchal Representations: Gender and Discourse in Pirandello's Theatre

by Maggie Günsberg

Overview

This contemporary feminist reading of an important modern European writer and dramatist illustrates a variety of methods that could be applied to other authors' texts as well. Günsberg examines the representation of gender relations in Pirandello's writing and reassesses his status as an avant garde author, arguing that while he can certainly be described as avant garde on the level of dramatic form, he cannot be said to innovate at the more covert level of gender relations.
