Book Synopsis Popular Plays by Women in the Restoration and Eighteenth Century by : Tanya M. Caldwell
Download or read book Popular Plays by Women in the Restoration and Eighteenth Century written by Tanya M. Caldwell. This book was released on 2011-06-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology offers a selection of popular dramatic works by female playwrights from Aphra Behn in the 1670s through Hannah Cowley in the later eighteenth century. These plays were successful as plays of their time, not just as plays by women, together providing evidence that women dramatists often managed better than their male counterparts to please diverse audiences, who were notoriously fickle as well as predisposed to oppose them. Accessible to both graduates and undergraduates, Popular Plays by Women shows how these playwrights captured audiences through wit, social awareness, and dramatic dexterity. As well as including the prologues and epilogues of the four plays presented, this anthology provides additional materials in which female playwrights discuss the prejudices and special difficulties they face.

Book Synopsis Early Women Dramatists 1550–1801 by : Margarete Rubik
Download or read book Early Women Dramatists 1550–1801 written by Margarete Rubik. This book was released on 2016-01-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive survey of women's drama between the Renaissance and the end of the eighteenth century, assessing the plays' characteristic features and the ruptures in the text indicating the writers' precarious social and artistic position and ambiguous stances to their own creativity and sex. Chapters are devoted to individual writers as well as to general developments in specific periods. The most significant plays are analysed in detail and related to the male literary canon of the time in order to stress both their originality and the existence of an, albeit tentative, female literary tradition.
