‘A spicy work of biographical conjecture ... It's also a rousing
reminder of the countless creative women who have been written out
of history or have had to fight relentlessly to make themselves
heard.’ EVENING STANDARD ‘The great virtue of Lloyd Malcolm’s
speculative history lies in its passion and anger: it ends with a
blazing address to the audience that is virtually a call to arms.
It is throughout, however, a highly theatrical piece ... In
rescuing Emilia from the shades, [the play] gives her dramatic life
and polemical potency.’ GUARDIAN The little we know of Emilia
Bassano Lanier (1569 - 1645) is that she may have been the Dark
Lady of Shakespeare's Sonnets, mistress of Lord Chamberlain, one of
the first English female poets to be published, a mother, teacher
who founded a school for women, and radical feminist with North
African ancestry. Living at a time when women had such limited
opportunities, Emilia Lanier is therefore a fascinating subject for
this speculative history. In telling her story, Morgan Lloyd
Malcolm represents the stories of women everywhere whose narratives
have been written out of history. Originally commissioned for
Shakespeare's Globe with an all-female cast, Emilia is published
here as a Methuen Drama Student Edition with commentary and notes
by Elizabeth Schafer, Professor of Drama at Royal Holloway,
University of London, UK.
