Each essay focuses on a particular stage in her development, for example professionalism in the seventeenth century; the emergence of the actress/critic during the Romantic period and, later on, of the actress as best selling autobiographer; the coming of the drama schools which led to today's emphasis on the actress as a highly-trained working woman. Chapters consider the image of the actress as a courtesan, as a 'muse', as a representative of the 'ordinary' housewife, and as a political activist. The collection also contains essays on forms, genres and traditions - on cross dressing, solo performance, racial constraints, and recent Shakespeare - as well as on the actress in early photography and on film. Its unique range will fascinate, surprise and instruct theatre-goers and students alike. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aWomen in the theater 606 $aActresses 615 0$aWomen in the theater. 615 0$aActresses. 702 $aGale$b Maggie B$g(Maggie Barbara),$f1963- 702 $aStokes$b John$f1943- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996201146403316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to the actress$92493695 997 $aUNISA
