Studies in Performance and Early Modern Drama
Series Editor: Helen Ostovich, McMaster University, Canada
This series presents original research on theatre histories and
performance histories; the time period covered is from about 1500
to the early 18th century. Studies in which women's
activities are a central feature of discussion are especially of
interest; this may include women as financial or technical support
(patrons, musicians, dancers, seamstresses, wig-makers) or house
support staff (e.g., gatherers), rather than performance per
se. We also welcome critiques of early modern drama that take
into account the production values of the plays and rely on period
records of performance.
