RENEGADE NELL 1.07 | Stop Printing This Muck

[theforestofthenight]

Polly is so enamored with Nell.

And Nell, she doesn't seem to be hating it.

She might be a bit confused, but not hating it.

And Roxy isn't exactly disapproving.

RENEGADE NELL 1.05 | Excuse Me, I'm a Doctor

[theforestofthenight]

For anything else you want to say about the new show Renegade Nell, I'm deeply appreciative for its sartorial gender subversion. I love that we get to see Nell alternate between and at times actively mix codes of feminine and masculine dress AND that the response to this subversion is an equally mixed reaction of acceptance, confusion, and an absolute grab bag of pronouns and descriptors.

Specifically, I enjoy the refusal of limits. Nell's "disguise" as a nobel woman is complete, believable, and well received. Her "disguise" as a doctor is complete, believable, and well received. Her choice to stand before the queen in military dress is accepted at the same time as she retains the feminine social etiquette of curtsying (even as she does so awkwardly). What we are seeing is a complete refusal of easy categorization and that strategy of opacity is so expertly delivered by Louisa Harland and is so very queer.

I'd love to see a deeper investigation into the costuming of this show, its historical referrants, and the queer readings it elicits
