Female Playwrights and Eighteenth-Century Comedy


Overview

Aphra Behn, Susannah Centlivre, Hannah Cowley and Elizabeth Inchbald were the only four female playwrights in England with multiple comic successes from 1670-1800. Behn's interest in the body, Centlivre's fascination with written contracts, Cowley's nationalism and Inchbald's discussion of divorce emerge in the comic events that are animated by the psychological mechanisms of humour. Attending to the dialogue between these comic events and the plays' more predictable comic endings illuminates the philosophical, political and legal arguments about women and marriage that fascinated both female playwrights and the theatre-going public.
