Rebecca Benzie. <i>Feminism, Dramaturgy, and the Contemporary British History Play</i>

Rebecca Benzie’s Feminism, Dramaturgy, and the Contemporary British History Play considers how normative historiography and normative dramaturgical structures have traditionally shaped English historical dramas. Reading through feminist, neo-Victorian, and intersectional lenses, Benzie demonstrates the importance of theatre’s questioning received historical tropes and of feminist playwrights as historiographers for today’s stages.
