Girl characters appeared in a variety of texts, from female infants in Shakespeare's late romances to little children in Tudor interludes to adult 'roaring girls' in city comedies. Drawing from a variety of print and manuscript sources, including early modern drama, dictionaries, midwifery manuals, and women's autobiographies, this book argues that girlhood in Shakespeare's England was both a time of life and a form of gender transgression.Edinburgh critical studies in Renaissance culture.Girls in literatureEnglish literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismGirlsGreat BritainSocial conditions16th centuryGirlsGreat BritainSocial conditions17th centuryGreat BritainCivilization16th centuryGreat BritainCivilization17th centuryLiteraturegirlsgirlhoodRenaissanceEarly Modern EnglandsexualityShakespeareFemininitychildhoodwomen writersLondonWilliam ShakespeareGirls in literature.English literatureHistory and criticism.GirlsSocial conditionsGirlsSocial conditions820.935234209031HI 3385rvkHigginbotham Jennifer972585UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910255448503321The girlhood of Shakespeare's sisters2212168UNINA
