In this timely book, Shonagh Hill proposes a feminist genealogy which brings new perspectives to women's mythmaking across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The performances considered include the tableaux vivants performed by the Inghinidhe na hEireann (Daughters of Ireland), plays written by Alice Milligan, Maud Gonne, Lady Augusta Gregory, Eva Gore-Booth, Mary Devenport O'Neill, Mary Elizabeth Burke-Kennedy, Paula Meehan, Edna O'Brien and Marina Carr, as well as plays translated, adapted and performed by Olwen Fouere. The theatrical work discussed resists the occlusion of women's cultural engagement that results from confinement to idealised myths of femininity. This is realised through embodied mythmaking: a process which exposes how bodies bear the consequences of these myths, while refusing to accept the female body as passive bearer of inscription through the assertion of a creative female corporeality. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-252) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: a creative female corporeality -- Revolutionary bodies: mythmaking and Irish feminisms -- Unhomely bodies: transforming space -- Process and resistance: metamorphic 'bodies that matter' -- Staging female death: sacrificial and dying bodies -- Haunted bodies and violent pasts -- Olwen Fouere's corpus: the performer's body and her body of work. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a English drama $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English drama $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women in the theater $z Ireland $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Theater $x History $z Ireland $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Feminism and theater $z Ireland $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 650 0 $a Myth in literature. 650 0 $a Human body in literature. 650 7 $a English drama $x Irish authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910763 650 7 $a English drama $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910790 650 7 $a Feminism and theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922749 650 7 $a Human body in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01899762 650 7 $a Myth in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031692 650 7 $a Theater $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149276 650 7 $a Women in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 650 7 $a Women in the theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178050 651 7 $a Ireland. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205427 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108621038 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015056.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C004F6061D7611EA83B92C1397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
