The prolific theatrical activity that abounded on the stages of
early modern Europe demonstrates that drama was a genre that
transcended national borders. The transnational character of early
modern theater reflects the rich admixture of various dramatic
traditions, such as Spain's comedia and Italy's commedia dell'arte,
but also the transformations across cultures of Spanish novellas to
French plays and English interludes. Of particular import to this
study is the role that women and gender played in this
cross-pollination of theatrical sources and practices. Contributors
to the volume not only investigate the gendered effect of Spanish
texts and literary types on English and French drama, they address
the actual journeys of Spanish actresses to French theaters and of
Italian actresses to the Spanish stage, while several emphasize the
movement of royal women to various courts and their impact on
theatrical activity in Spain and abroad. In their innovative focus
on women's participation and influence, the chapters in this volume
illustrate the frequent yet little studied transnational and
transcultural points of contact between Spanish theater and the
national theaters of England, France, Austria, and Italy.
