Shakespeare en devenir

Margaret Owens is an associate professor in the department of English studies at Nipissing University, in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, where she teaches courses in early modern literature and Shakespeare. Her research focuses on the construction and destruction of bodies in literary and visual culture, and combines an historicist focus with psychoanalytic and gender theory. Among her publications are studies of the waxworks in The Duchess of Malfi, the relevance of Walter Benjamin’s theory of allegory to The Revenger’s Tragedy, and the staging of dismemberment in early modern drama.
