Description

Performing Maternity in Early Modern England examines how maternity was culturally represented and performed across early modern society from 1540 to 1690. This collection of essays investigates fertility, conception, delivery and gendered constructions of maternity by analyzing historical documents, images and both dramatic and non-dramatic literary texts. The contributors emphasise that maternity's embodied, repeated and public nature makes it inherently performative, positioning it as fundamentally central to understanding early modern culture and performance practices. The volume offers scholars and students of theatre history, gender studies and early modern literature detailed insights into how maternal experience shaped dramatic representation and social practice during this transformative historical period.
