Sommario/riassunto |

Can we truly call football England's 'national' game?How have we arrived at this point of such clear inequality between men's and women's football?Between 1921 and 1972, women were banned from playing in football League grounds in the UK. Yet in 1998 FIFA declared that ""the future is feminine"" and that football was the fastest growing sport for women globally.The result of several years of original research, the book traces the continuities in women's participation since the beginnings of the game, and highlights the significant moments that have influenced curr |

Sommario/riassunto |

Eva Griffith's book fills a major gap concerning the world of Shakespearean drama. It tells the previously untold story of the Servants of Queen Anna of Denmark, a group of players parallel to Shakespeare's King's Men, and their London playhouse, The Red Bull.

Revels Office to the east. Griffith sets the playhouse in the historical context of the Seckford and Bedingfeld families and their connections to the site. Utilising a wealth of primary evidence including maps, plans and archival texts, she analyses the court patronage of figures such as Sir Robert Sidney, Queen Anna's chamberlain, alongside the company's members, function and repertoire. Plays performed included those by Webster, Dekker and Heywood - entertainments characterised by spectacle, battle sequence and courtroom drama, alongside London humour and song. |
