Viac o knihe New Woman & Other Emancipated Woman Plays (Oxford World's Classics) (Grundy, S.)
Female emancipation and the much derided ´New Woman´ was a subject of immense fascination in the English Theatre of the 1890s. Associated issues of women´s education, freedom of thought, the sexual double standard, and the right to self-determination feature in play after play of the period. However the advent of the New Drama after the turn of the century marked a change of emphasis and figures previously demonized were now heroized. This collection includes two plays from the 1890s, Sidney Grundy´s The New Woman (1894) and Arthur Wing Pinero´s The Notorious Mrs Ebbsmith (1895), both much mentioned in recent criticism but neither available, until now, and two of the liveliest examples of the New Drama, Elizabeth Robins´s Votes for Women (1907) and St John Hankin´s The Last of the De Mullins (1908).
