William Inge and the subversion of gender

"This study of Inge's work focuses particularly on his technique of "gendermandering," patterns of gender-role reversals which Inge exploits not only for dramatic effect but also to subvert social expectations. The author concentrates on material that is strictly Inge's, not adaptations or collaborations, and on work that has been published and is readily available to the general public"--Provided by publisher.
