"I welcome this exhilarating collection which restores the female tragic protagonist to her rightful place as hero. By asserting resemblances as well as differences between women and men, desire and virtue, private and public, authors and audiences, victims and heroes, the volume compellingly challenges longstanding assumptions. The strong voices of the wonderful introduction and the individual essays collectively reframe our understanding of Renaissance tragedy by drawing on old and new contexts in startling ways: Greek tragedy, visual arts, Neoplatonic humanism, Attic and near eastern mythology, medieval morality plays, Morris dancing. The book is essential reading for scholars, students, and playgoers." - - Carol Thomas Neely, Professor of English, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
"If, as Naomi Conn Liebler says, tragedy tells the tale of a culture in crisis , this book retells some of the most compelling tales of early modern culture from a feminine perspective. In this set of diverse, scholarly, and vigorously political essays, Renaissance tragic drama is explored as a site of gendered struggle, resistance, and challenge. The Female Tragic Hero in English Renaissance Drama powerfully demonstrates how attending to female agency can revise our understandings of cultures and their crises." - - Kate Chedgzoy, Professor of Renaissance Literature, University of Newcastle
