内容概要

‘There are many strengths in the detail and breadth of Findlay’s research，but most impressive is the elegance with which she weaves her coverage of plays by seventeenth-century women ’Journal of Theatre Research。 　　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。 　　Playing Spaces explores the use of venue and setting in women’s drama from 1376 to 1705，concentrating on five key sites： homes， gardens，courts，convents and cities。Findlay investigates the rich inter-textuality of spatial practices invoked by scripts and performances， providing a richer understanding of how early women’s drama works。 作者简介：　　Alison Findlay is Professor of Renaissance Drama in the Department of English and Creative Writing at the University of Lancaster。
