Feminist Views on the English Stage, first published in 2003, is an
exciting and insightful study on drama from a feminist perspective,
one that challenges an idea of the 1990s as a 'post-feminist'
decade and pays attention to women's playwriting marginalized by a
'renaissance' of angry young men. Working through a generational
mix of writers, from Sarah Kane, the iconoclastic 'bad girl' of the
stage, to the 'canonical' Caryl Churchill, Elaine Aston charts the
significant political and aesthetic changes in women's playwriting
at the century's end. Aston also explores writing for the 1990s in
theatre by Sarah Daniels, Bryony Lavery, Phyllis Nagy, Winsome
Pinnock, Rebecca Prichard, Judy Upton and Timberlake Wertenbaker.
