Abstract

This essay examines the gendered investments that participate in determining a work’s status as either “Shakespeare” or “not Shakespeare.” Using Philippa Gregory’s The Cousins’ War novel series and The White Queen television adaptation of her book, which are constructed by its author and her critics as “not Shakespeare,” Meyer argues that these texts nevertheless function as “Shakespeare” by recalling Shakespeare’s history plays and their sources. She considers how and why Gregory’s revisionist historical novels relocate Shakespeare’s royal women—particularly Elizabeth Woodville Grey—in contrast to her redemptive alternative history of Richard III.
