Overview
Holy Estates focuses on how a female prose writer, Mary Wroth, and the playwrights Shakespeare, Francis Beaumont, John Fletcher, and John Webster literalize the metaphors of early modern marriage manuals to engage their subversive possibilities, each of the authors presenting scenes in which female or feminized characters are at the mercy of some literal form of bondage or torture.Book Details
