Beskrivning

This text focuses on female tragic heroes in England from c1610 to c1645. Their sudden appearance can be linked to changing ideas about the relationships between bodies and souls, men's bodies and women's, marriage and mothering, and the law and religion. Though the vast majority of these characters are closer to villainesses than heroines, these plays, by showing how misogyny affected the lives of their central characters, did not merely reflect their culture but also changed it.

'Hopkins's careful and acute interpretations of many canonical and less familiar plays are...impressive for their lucidity and ease.' - Emma Smith, Times Literary Supplement 'As always, Hopkins's writing is engaging and accessible...Highly recommended.' - B.E. Brandt, Choice
