Book Synopsis
This Element interrogates the scepticism that Shakespeare's visionary women face and considers the ways in which they perform the truth of their experiences to a hostile onstage audience. It concludes that prophecy gives women a brief access to political conversations in which they are not welcome as they wrest narrative control from male speakers.

1. Introduction: given to lie; 2. The art of dissuasion; 3. Ambitious visions and/as sinful thought; 4. Believe not every spirit; 5. Sooth-Dreams; 6. Conclusion: looking back; References.
