Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides insight into the practice of dramatic composition in the early modern era. It does so by examining one play by John Ford, "The Lady's Trial," and reconstructing its critical reception over time. By exploring the shift in interpretations of the work since its initial production the book discusses the ways in which the idea of gender has been central to literary and social discourse. The author argues for a re-evaluation of the play, from one that dismisses it as a misogynistic text to one that reveals the complex and contradictory nature of early modern gender roles.
