Description:
Readings in Renaissance Women's Drama brings together, for the first time, a significant collection of critical and historical essays. Authors include: Joanna Lumley, Elizabeth Cary, Mary Sidney, Mary Wroth and the Cavendish sisters.
Review Quotes: "With its intelligent, historically grounded, clearly written essays -- some classic and some new, some on dramatic writings by women and some on the role of women in Renaissance drama -- this beautifully conceived work has a minimum of fustian and murk; thus, the essays not only inform undergraduates and specialists but also provide them with models of interpretation and style. Both this volume and its companion anthology belong in all libraries supporting an English major."
