Crossing the Stage: Controversies on Cross-dressing Book

This provocative essay collection examines cross-dressing as a culturally determined performance phenomenon, and brings a wide range of arguments and historical evidence to bear on this fascinating subject. The essays focus on cross-dressing in theatre, cabaret, opera and dance, and address everything from the significance of the cross-dressed classical Greek actor to the Renaissance tradition of adolescent boys playing female roles: from Restoration breeches roles to ``vogueing.'' Using critical perspectives drawn from social history, anthropology, psychoanalysis and gender theory, the contributors discuss performance traditions within the wider context of sexology and sexuality, drawing out the differences of their respective critical perspectives.
