Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

A feminist view on the 1990s -- Telling feminist tales: Caryl Churchill -- Saying no to daddy: child sexual abuse, the 'Big Hysteria' -- Girl power, the new feminism? -- The 'bad girl of our stage?': Sarah Kane -- Performing identities -- Feminist connections to a multicultural 'scene' -- Feminism past, and future?: Timberlake Wertenbaker -- Tales for the twenty-first century: final reflections.

Feminist Views on the English Stage, first published in 2003, is an exciting and insightful study on drama from a feminist perspective, one that challenges an idea of the 1990s as a 'post-feminist' decade and pays attention to women's playwriting marginalized by a 'renaissance' of angry young men. Working through a generational mix of writers, from Sarah Kane, the iconoclastic 'bad girl' of the stage, to the 'canonical' Caryl Churchill, Elaine Aston charts the significant political and aesthetic changes in women's playwriting at the century's end. Aston also explores writing for the 1990s in theatre by Sarah Daniels, Bryony Lavery, Phyllis Nagy, Winsome Pinnock, Rebecca Prichard, Judy Upton and Timberlake Wertenbaker.
