Women, Writing, and the Theater in the Early Modern Period: The Plays of Aphra Behn and Suzanne CentlivreFairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2001 - 273 من الصفحات The previous revolutionary period in England had changed the nation enough for women's participation in all areas of society, politics, and religion to become feasible and visible. This emergent visibility gave them a chance to become actresses after 1661, and sparked their desire to offer contributions to the public stage after 1669."--BOOK JACKET. |
