In the field of seventeenth-century English drama, women
participated not only as spectators or readers, but more and more
as patronesses, as playwrights, and later on as actresses and even
as managers. This study examines English women writers' tragedies
and tragicomedies in the seventeenth century, specifically between
1613 and 1713, which represent the publication dates of the first
original tragedy (Elizabeth Cary's The Tragedy of Mariam) and the
last one (Anne Finch's Aristomenes) written by a Stuart woman
playwright. Through this one-hundred year period, major changes in
dramatic form and ideology are traced in women's tragedies and
tragicomedies. In examining the whole of the century from a gender
perspective, this project breaks away from conventional approaches
to the subject, which tend to establish an unbridgeable gap between
the early Stuart period and the Restoration. All in all, this study
represents a major overhaul of current theories of the evolution of
English drama as well as offering an unprecedented reconstruction
of the genealogy of seventeenth-century English women playwrights.
