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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aEnglish drama$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFeminism and literature$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aEnglish drama$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 676 $a822/.91099282 702 $aAston$b Elaine 702 $aReinelt$b Janelle G. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996216691503316 996 $aCambridge companion to modern british women playwrights$9541866 997 $aUNISA
