This anthology offers a selection of popular dramatic works by
female playwrights from Aphra Behn in the 1670s through Hannah
Cowley in the later eighteenth century. These plays were successful
as plays of their time, not just as plays by women, together
providing evidence that women dramatists often managed better than
their male counterparts to please diverse audiences, who were
notoriously fickle as well as predisposed to oppose them.
Accessible to both graduates and undergraduates, Popular Plays by
Women shows how these playwrights captured audiences through wit,
social awareness, and dramatic dexterity. As well as including the
prologues and epilogues of the four plays presented, this anthology
provides additional materials in which female playwrights discuss
the prejudices and special difficulties they face.
