‘Untruss a Point’—Interiority, Sword Combat, and Gender in The Roaring Girl
2018
Overview
This article discusses the critical apparatus surrounding Dekker and Middleton’s wellknown play The Roaring Girl. While previous discussions of the text have focused mostly on Moll’s cross-dressing, I instead look at Moll’s sword skills to show how the lascivious behaviour of London’s men produces her gender performance, which seems unruly by early modern standards. I also examine other rituals of gender construction that texture previous analyses of Moll.
