The Celebrated Hannah Cowley: Experiments in Dramatic Genre, 1776-1794 / Edition 1 in Bloomington, MN

Hannah Cowley (1743–1809) was a very successful dramatist, and something of an eighteenth-century celebrity. New critical interest in the drama of this period has meant a resurgence of interest in Cowley’s writing and in the performance of her plays. This is the first substantial monograph study to examine Cowley’s life and work.
