Why does historical memory exclude nineteenth-century women
playwrights when hundreds worked prolifically across the spectrum
of professional theatre, amateur theatricals, and publishing? What
might it mean to adjust the collective focus of cultural historians
and literary critics so that these women can come into view? This
collection of essays, written by a team of leading scholars in the
field, undertakes not simply to recover the names and careers of
women playwrights but to call into question the whole idea of what
a playwright is, and what she does, and why it matters. Gender
inquiry is the start: destabilising the category of playwrights
loosens the borders of theatre history, making it possible to
reconceptualize theatre and drama not as a product of culture but
as social processes dynamically interacting with culture.
