The Aesthetics ofthe Marketplace Women Playwrights …市场女性剧作家的美学.pdf
The Aesthetics of the Marketplace:
Women Playwrights, 1770-1850
Katherine Newey
From the late eighteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century
some 520 women writers produced around 1,200 plays for the theatre
in all its forms. Surprisingly, given the way that feminist and cultural
studies have been so active and invigorating in the last twenty years
in recuperating lost or forgotten texts, there is little work done in this
field. Most, if not all, of these writers and their plays are now unheard
of, as indeed is much of the entire dramatic and stage literature of the
nineteenth century. And this obscurity is part of the significance in
the histories of women playwrights. Not only were they women, who
were not supposed to write-or if they did, they were not supposed
to take it seriously, if we remember Southeys advice to Charlotte
Bronte: Literature is not the business of a womans life, and it
cannot be. 1 But the theatre of the nineteenth century is also generally
seen as a lost era-canonical literary opinion suggests that there is
nothing of note in the English language produced for the stage for the
century between Sheridan and Shaw. I am interested in how women
writers fared in this convergence of silences in our literary and cultural
history. How did they survive in a field of writing which was not
usually considered by their contemporaries to be literature, and
certainly is not today, in which success was usually very crudely
measured by box office receipts and audience applause? How did
they operate as professionals in a business which was public,
collaborative, gossipy, and club-like, when women were constrained
by views of feminine behaviour which required them to be private,
domestic, pure of mind and behaviour, and dependent, with very real
difficulties if they contravened these cod
