This book focuses on an unexplored area of Edward Bond's writing.
While different studies examine the violence present in his plays
or his dramatic theory, questions around his powerful female
characters have remained unsolved. None of the criticism has
developed specifically the role of these women as speakers of their
social context. The human condition that Bond depicts in his plays
is not gender-oriented. From his early plays, Edward Bond has been
considered misogynist, but this book presents the possibility to
discover a different Bond as a writer on women with powerful
voices. The reader of this book will discover in these women female
spokeswomen of revolution, committed and suffering mothers but also
the personification of evil and wickedness. Emotions and ideas will
be analyzed in these pages in a journey through Bond's feminine
universe closer to reality than to stage. Justice, the essence of
humanity or the nature of oppression are dealt with through the
construction of brilliant characters with no possibility of
catharsis. This vision of drama as a social forum clearly
exemplifies Bond's defense on the possibility of change.
