Heroines of the Golden Stage. Women and Drama in Spain and England (en inglés)

The essays in this collection focus on early modern women’s contributions to theatrical production in Spain and England, as inspirations for characters, as dramatic performers and as playwrights. While the possibilities for Spanish and English women’s active engagement with either public or private theatricals were different in many respects, the themes covered by these women dramatists as well as the roles performed by women from the two nations reveal interesting similarities.
