Books by David Mann

This ambitious work features forty of Etherege's poems and three plays, which are still popular after 300 years. The concordance provides an easy-to-use identification system that helps determine lexical shading, isolate word clusters that suggest patterns of meaning, and examine changes in language over several decades.

This book examines the treatment of women in 205 plays by Shakespeare's predecessors and contemporaries, exploring their influence on his work. By challenging the gay and polemical feminist accounts currently dominating the treatment of Elizabethan cross-dressing, the book restores its importance as a mainstream performance topic for academics and students.
