Effacing Rebellion and Righting the Slanted: Declassifying the Archive of MacMillan's (1965) and Shakespeare's (1597) Romeo and Juliets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 August 2017
Abstract
Archival evidence of Shakespeare's and Kenneth MacMillan's Romeo and Juliets evince patriarchal efforts to efface female rebellion. As Juliet, Lynn Seymour declassifies ballet through recalcitrant stillness and off-balance choreography. Patriarchal institutions enlisted Margot Fonteyn's classifying instinct to efface these balletic transgressions from the archive utilizing strategies corresponding to early modern textual editing practices.
