This volume of essays, now available in paperback, explores the
fascinating and immensely rich legacy of Irish women playwrights
throughout the twentieth century and opens up essential dialogue on
the politics of authorship, representation and the 'canon' of Irish
theatre. Ideological, historical and cultural issues are discussed
in relation to the performance of woman, gender, sexuality and the
body on the Irish stage in plays by women and, to a lesser extent,
by men. An appendix lists over two hundred Irish women playwrights
and their works, contesting the traditional concept of Irish
theatre as primarily a site of male authorship and authority. In
this book unknown territories are discovered and familiar ones are
renegotiated, as the histories of Irish theatre are expanded,
challenged and critiqued. "Women in Irish Drama" opens a space for
previously forgotten or silenced voices and marks an exciting new
beginning for the way in which Irish theatre is considered in the
twenty-first century.
