Privacy, Playreading, and Women's Closet Drama, 1550-1700 Book

Marta Straznicky offers a detailed historical analysis of the relationship between early modern women's closet plays and the culture of reading. She reveals that these works, by Elizabeth Cary and Margaret Cavendish among others, were part of an alternative dramatic tradition, an elite and private literary culture, which was understood as intellectually superior to and politically more radical than commercial drama. This study offers a new insight into the place of women's closet plays both in the history of women's writing and in the history of English drama.Read More
