Biography
James W. Stone is a visiting fellow in the Department of English Language and Literature at the National University of Singapore.
"James W. Stone's book is a true essay, a daring exploration of gender in Twelfth Night, Richard II, Hamlet, Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, and Cymbeline... almost always thrilling." - Winfried Schleiner, Renaissance and Reformation
"The strength of Crossing Gender in Shakespeare is its close readings and attention to intersections of language and gender... Stone offers many valuable insights into nuances in Shakespeare's depictions of the psychology, or 'difference within,' of gender." - Jan Purnis, Shakespeare Quarterly
"Among the myriad of publications about gender in Shakespeare, James W. Stone's book earns a rightful place. Stone's attention to wordplay and textuality as sexuality (and vice versa) is sustained in an effective manner throughout the book." - Erin Felicia Labbie, The Upstart Crow: A Shakespeare Journal
