"British Women Playwrights, 1660-1823" examines drama by women in England, Scotland, and Ireland from their earliest involvement at the Restoration through the 18th century and into the romantic period. The authors introduce women writers who composed a single play or closet drama, as well as better known women authors who established themselves as professional playwrights, including Aphra Behn, Susanna Centlivre, Elizabeth Griffith, Hannah Cowley, Elizabeth Inchbald, Joanna Baillie, and Mary Russell Mitford. The result is a comprehensive introduction to more than 150 women playwrights, their plays, and many performances of these dramas. |
