Opis

From the Abbess of Barking to Aphra Behn, women manipulated dramatic venues and settings to renegotiate their place in society. This is the first study to examine the playing spaces for early modern women s drama and how women played with space in scripts and performances."

Recenzje

"Playing Spaces offers a fascinating narrative. With any luck it should open the way for more such innovative and imaginative work—even bolder dialogues between art history, architectural history, and literary scholarship." - Sixteenth Century Journal
