The chapters explore the historical and theatrical contexts in which women have written for the theatre and examine the work of individual playwrights. A chronological section on playwriting from the 1920s to the 1970s is followed by chapters which raise issues of nationality and identity. Later sections question accepted notions of the canon and include chapters on non-mainstream writing, including black and lesbian performance. Each section is introduced by the editors, who provide a narrative overview of a century of women's drama and a thorough chronology of playwriting, set in political context. The collection includes essays on the individual writers Caryl Churchill, Sarah Daniels, Pam Gems and Timberlake Wertenbaker as well as extensive documentation of contemporary playwriting in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, including figures such as Liz Lochhead and Anne Devlin.Cambridge companions to literature.English dramaWomen authorsHistory and criticismEnglish drama20th centuryHistory and criticismWomen and literatureGreat BritainHistory20th centuryFeminism and literatureGreat BritainHistory20th centuryEnglish dramaWomen authorsHistory and criticism.English dramaHistory and criticism.Women and literatureHistoryFeminism and literatureHistory822/.91099282Aston ElaineReinelt Janelle G.UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996216691503316Cambridge companion to modern british women playwrights541866UNISA
