A database by Ana Valdemoros and David Amelang. The aim of this database is to highlight the many characters across early modern European theatre who, at some point in their stories, present themselves publicly and externally in attire that at the time would not have been associated with their gender. It is designed to be a resource for scholars and practitioners who wish to study the performance of gender transnationally in the early modern period. Much work has been done on some sections of literature from the period, and the database offers a starting point for queries made possible by expanded understandings of gender and sexuality.
