Book excerpt: Elizabeth Tanfield was born in 1585 or 1586 at Burford Priory in Oxfordshire, the only child of Sir Lawrence Tanfield and Elizabeth Symondes. Her father was a lawyer, who later became a judge and the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. Her parents encouraged their daughter's love of reading and learning, although her mother forbade the servants from giving Elizabeth candles to read by at night. At age five Elizabeth's parents employed a French teacher for her. Within weeks the young child was speaking fluently and would later instruct herself in Spanish, Italian, Latin, Hebrew, and Transylvanian. Her accomplishments as a scholar was acknowledged by such luminaries as Michael Drayton and John Davies in works they dedicated to her. When she was fifteen, her father arranged for her to marry Sir Henry Cary (later Viscount Falkland). When she finally moved into her husband's home, she was told by her mother-in-law that she was forbidden to read. Unperturbed Elizabeth began to write poetry in her spare time. After seven years of marriage the now Lord and Lady Falkland began their family; they would go on to have a total of eleven children. Elizabeth believed that poetry was the highest literary form. Most of her poetry has been lost but evidence of her poetic talent can be seen in her surviving plays. Her play 'The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry' (1613) was written in iambic pentameter with the use of couplets throughout and the use of irony. It was the first English play to be written by a woman. In 1622 her husband was appointed Lord Deputy of Ireland and Elizabeth went with him to Dublin. There she socialized with prominent local Catholics and patronized Catholic writers. In 1625 Elizabeth was disinherited by her father just before he died for using part of her jointure to meet the debts of her eldest son, Lucius and to help pay for her husband's lands in Ireland. The same year she returned from Ireland and publicly announced her conversion to Catholicism. This resulted in her husband's attempt (it was unsuccessful) to divorce her. Despite several orders of the Privy Council, he refused her a maintenance in an effort to force her to recant. He also denied her access to their children but she eventually gained custody over her daughters. Elizabeth wrote 'The History of the Life, Reign, and Death of Edward II' in 1626/27. This was a political fable based on historical events. The story tells of King Edward II and his powerful favorites Gaveston and Spencer. The play is an analogy for King Charles, who in the 1620s was in conflict with Parliament about the power granted to the Duke of Buckingham. Elizabeth was in constant contact with Buckingham and his family and writing the play may have been her way to acknowledge his help and efforts. Her husband died in 1633, and she sought to regain custody of her sons. It appeared she kidnapped them and was forced to appear before the Star Chamber to answer for this. In 1634 her daughters Elizabeth, Mary, Lucy and Anne were accepted into the Catholic faith by John Fursdon, their mother's confessor. This was reported to King Charles I and he had the four girls removed from their mother's house and taken to Great Tew, which had been inherited by her son, Lucius, and now the new Viscount Falkland. By the end of Elizabeth's life her mission to convert her children to Catholicism had become partially successful; four of her daughters went on to become Benedictine nuns, and one of her sons joined the priesthood. In 1639, Elizabeth Cary, Lady Falkland died in London. She is buried in Henrietta Maria's Chapel in Somerset House.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry is a Jacobean closet drama by Elizabeth Tanfield Cary. First published in 1613, it was the first work by a woman to be published under her real name. Never performed during Cary's lifetime, and apparently never intended for performance, the Senecan revenge tragedy tells the story of Mariam, the second wife of Herod. The play exposes and explores the themes of sex, divorce, betrayal, murder, and Jewish society under Herod's tyrannous rule. The wide-ranging introduction discusses the play in the context of closet drama, female dramatists and feminist criticism, providing an ideal edition for study and teaching. This is a major edition of an unusual and provocative play not widely available elsewhere.

Download or read book The Tragedy of Mariam written by Elizabeth Cary and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2000-12-13 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1613, The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry is probably the first play in English known to have been authored by a woman, and it has become increasingly popular in the study of early modern women’s writing. The play, which Cary based on the story of Herod and Mariam, turns on a rumour of Herod’s death, and unfolds around the actions taken by the patriarch’s family and servants in his absence. In part a critique of male power, the play sets gender politics in sharp relief against a background of dynastic conflict and Roman imperialism.

This book was released on 1994-02-07 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tragedy of Mariam (1613) is the first original play by a woman to be published in England, and its author is the first English woman writer to be memorialized in a biography, which is included with this edition of the play. Mariam is a distinctive example of Renaissance drama that serves the desire of today's readers and scholars to know not merely how women were represented in the early modern period but also how they themselves perceived their own condition. With this textually emended and fully annotated edition, the play will now be accessible to all readers. The accompanying biography of Cary further enriches our knowledge of both domestic and religious conflicts in the seventeenth century.
Book Synopsis Privacy, Playreading, and Women's Closet Drama, 1550-1700 by : Marta Straznicky
Download or read book Privacy, Playreading, and Women's Closet Drama, 1550-1700 written by Marta Straznicky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marta Straznicky offers a detailed historical analysis of early modern women's closet plays: plays explicitly written for reading, rather than public performance. She reveals that such works were part of an alternative dramatic tradition, an elite and private literary culture, which was understood as intellectually superior to and politically more radical than commercial drama. Elizabeth Cary, Jane Lumley, Anne Finch and Margaret Cavendish wrote their plays in this conjunction of the public and the private at a time when male playwrights dominated the theatres. In her astute readings of the texts, their contexts and their physical appearance in print or manuscript, Straznicky has produced many fresh insights into the place of women's closet plays both in the history of women's writing and in the history of English drama.
