Description

Explore the first book-length study of Jewish women in Renaissance drama. This research examines how female Jewish characters were represented in academic, private, and public stage performances during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. By linking lesser-known dramatic adaptations of biblical figures like Rebecca, Deborah, and Esther with the famous Jewish daughters seen in the works of Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare, this book provides a deep look into early modern performance. Michelle Ephraim uses original research from early modern sermons and biblical commentaries to explain the cultural importance of these biblical plays. This text is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in gender studies, Renaissance theatre, and the history of Jewish representation in the arts. It offers a unique perspective on how religious and social identities were shaped on the Elizabethan stage.
