| 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Elizabeth I, an occasional masque written for performance by a ladies'' school before Queen Anne, and a collection of historical documents illustration many fascinating ways that women participated in a range of theatrical activity between the 1570s and 1660. |
