"The Tragedy of Mariam" (1613) is the first original play by a
woman to be published in England, and its author is the first
English woman writer to be memorialized in a biography, which is
included with this edition of the play.
"Mariam" is a distinctive example of Renaissance drama that serves
the desire of today's readers and scholars to know not merely how
women were represented in the early modern period but also how they
themselves perceived their own condition.
With this textually emended and fully annotated edition, the play
will now be accessible to all readers. The accompanying biography
of Cary further enriches our knowledge of both domestic and
religious conflicts in the seventeenth century.
