- Synopsis
- This engaging textbook marks the 100 year anniversary of women’s suffrage by reflecting on the idea and representation of ‘woman’ in British drama and theatre from the 1890s until the First World War. Providing an accessible overview of early feminist theatre history, Leslie Hill foregrounds key characters created and issues debated on stage by prominent dramatists such as George Bernard Shaw, Elizabeth Robins, Oscar Wilde and Arthur Wing Pinero. Clear and concise, this is an ideal resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Theatre and Performance Studies taking courses on Women in Theatre and Performance, Staging Feminism, Early Feminist Theatre, Theatre and Suffrage, Gender and Theatre, Political Theatre and Performance Historiography. This text will also appeal to scholars, lecturers, and Literature students.
