Overview

Passion Made Public explores the remarkable vitality of lyrical poetry in Elizabethan theatrical performances, analyzing its complex social and aesthetic origins, uses, and messages. Diana Henderson explains how lyric poetry in plays by Peele, Marlowe, and Shakespeare reflected a range of attitudes toward female power and created an alternative landscape in which to reconsider political and sexual ideologies.
