Renaissance Drama by Women: Texts and Documents (Hardcover)

Gathered for the first time in this unique volume are plays and documents suggesting that, contrary to traditional thinking, women participated in the theatrical culture of the English Renaissance--as authors, translators, performers, spectators, and even as part-owners of theaters. "Renaissance Drama by Women" includes 4 full length plays--"Love's Victory, The Concealed Fancies, The Tragedy of Marion, " and "The Tragedy of Antonie"--along with a fragment of a translation from Seneca by Queen Elizabeth I, an occasional masque written for performance by a ladies' school before Queen Anne, and a collection of historical documents illustration many fascinating ways that women participated in a range of theatrical activity between the 1570s and 1660.
