Description
Galatea, a play devised for a Tudor monarch, offers a surprising modernity, tackling same-sex relationships, shifts of authority, and the destabilization of meaning. This 16th-century drama remains accessible and frequently performed today, making it a valuable addition to any study of the Elizabethan court. Leah Scragg's edition provides a range of perspectives on the work, including an extensive introduction that locates the play in its historical context. This edition also offers detailed critical and performance histories, allowing for a deeper understanding of the play's susceptibility to reinterpretation. A useful resource for students and scholars, Galatea offers a unique insight into a kind of drama distinct from that of more familiar writers of the time.
