Über den Autor

Pamela Allen Brown, Professor of English at the University of Connecticut, has published widely on female playing and jesting in early modern England. In this work, she uses a transnational lens to show how the English stage benefited from the innovations of actresses in the commedia dell'arte, the first professional companies to tour foreign cities, including London. Professor Brown's books include Better a Shrew than a Sheep: Women, Drama and the Culture ofJest in Early Modern England, As You Like It: Texts and Contexts (with Jean E. Howard), and Women Players in Early Modern England: Beyond the All-Male Stage (with Peter Parolin). A founding member of Theater Without Borders, she has also translated stage dialogues by the diva Isabella Andreini in TheLovers' Debates for the Stage: A Bilingual Edition (with Eric Nicholson and Julie Campbell).
