Mothers and meaning on the early modern English stage is a study of
the dramatised mother figure in English drama from the
mid-sixteenth to the early seventeenth centuries. It explores a
range of genres: moralities, histories, romantic comedies, city
comedies, domestic tragedies, high tragedies, romances and
melodrama and includes close readings of plays by such diverse
dramatists as Udall, Bale, Phillip, Legge, Kyd, Marlowe, Peele,
Shakespeare, Middleton, Dekker and Webster. The study is enriched
by reference to religious, political and literary discourses of the
period, from Reformation and counter-Reformation polemic to
midwifery manuals and Mother's Legacies, the political rhetoric of
Mary I, Elizabeth I and James VI, reported gallows confessions of
mother convicts and Puritan conduct books. It thus offers scholars
of literature, drama, art and history a unique opportunity to
consider the literary, visual and rhetorical representation of
motherhood in the context of a discussion of familiar and less
familiar dramatic texts. -- .
