This volume is an accessible introduction to the work of early women dramatists in the early modern period. It is a course handbook covering not only writing and translation of plays but also female performance in official forms e.g. 'court' masque and in alternative dramatic spaces created by public protest, prophecy or preaching. The structure charts the development of women's active involvement in drama.
