I once considered writing something about statuary and the characters who fall for them eg Ovid, pygmalion, and Winter’s Tale. Seems while I was thinking about it, others went and wrote some cool stuff. Like the piece above and the very different article here: earlytheatre.org/earlytheatre...

My latest publication is out in Early Theatre: new evidence about a specific playgoer in early modern Worcester (UK)--and not just any other playgoer but one of the rarest kinds to appear in the historical record by name: a middle-class woman. earlytheatre.org/earlytheatre...
In Great Haste to See a Play: A Woman Playgoer in Jacobean Worcester | Early Theatre
This note transcribes a letter written by Mary Ingram of Worcester sometime between 1607 and 1614, in which she describes going to see a play. The note provides some context about Mary, and her sister to whom she sent the letter, and what performance she might have gone to see, and what her letter reveals about early modern women as playgoers in the provinces.

In early modern English domestic tragedy, criminality is transformative, whereas in English city comedy, it appears less serious and even redeeming. For a deeper understanding, see Sheila Coursey's essay in ET December 2025: buff.ly/Odmf7UH
