A Feminist Perspective on Renaissance Drama by Alison Findlay

We know that women made up a significant part of Renaissance theatre audiences but how might they have read the plays presented there?
"In this valuable book Alison Findlay attempts to develop historically grounded feminist responses to a wide variety of Renaissance plays. . Findlay writes with admirable clarity and concision, offering interpretations that are informed but never obscured by contemporary - especially Lacanian - critical theory. This is a good book, worth reading and debating." Early Modern Literary Studies.

"All the essays are new, and together they illuminate a wide range of issues across a reasonable spread of plays. The book offers a range of thoughtful and stimulating approaches to gender on the Renaissance stage." The Yearbook of English Studies

Alison Findlay is a lecturer in English at Lancaster University, specializing in feminist approaches to Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama and women's writing of the early modern period.
