Description
Cambridge University Press Women and Playwriting in Nineteenth Century Britain by Tracy C Davis And Ellen Donkin
This Collection Of Essays, Written By A Team Of Leading Scholars In The Field, Undertakes Not Simply To Recover The Names And Careers Of Women Playwrights But To Call Into Question The Whole Idea Of What A Playwright Is, What She Does, And Why It Matters. Gender Inquiry Is The Start: Destabilizing The Category Of Playwrights Loosens The Borders Of Theater History Making It Possible To Reconceptualize Theater And Drama Not As A Product Of Culture But As Social Processes Dynamically Interacting With Culture.
