The Subversion of Traditional Family Ethics in The Girlhood of Shakespeare’s Heroines

摘要：

　　From the perspective of New Historicism,this paper aims at exploring the traditional family ethics and its tentative subversion in The Girlhood of Shakespeares Heroines,the fifteen-tale prequel to William Shakespeares dramas written by Mary Cowden Clarke.With close reading,the paper categorizes the major negative male characters,namely,the erotic predators and the incompetent fathers,and then makes a detailed analysis of these characters to dig into the subverting power the depiction of these characters brings about upon the Victorian family ethics.And finally,it points out the significance of such subverting efforts in heralding the improvement of women rights and the feminist movement.
