Staging Domesticity: Household Work and English Identity in Early Modern Drama (Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture) Book

In this book Wendy Wall argues that representations of housework in the early modern period helped to forge conceptions of national identity. Rich with a detailed account of household practices, Staging Domesticity reads plays on the London stage in the light of the first printed cookbooks in England. Working from original historical sources, Wall shows that domesticity was represented as familiar but also alien. Wall analyses a wide range of the repertoire, including some now little-known plays, as well as key works in the period by Shakespeare and others.Read More
