Fairies, fractious women, and the old faith : fairy lore in early modern British drama and culture
Examines the ways in which the fairy, rebellious woman, quasi-Catholic trio repeatedly stages resistance to early modern conceptions of appropriate class and gender conduct and state-mandated religion in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "The Merry Wives of Windsor", "Cymbeline", "All's Well That Ends Well", and Ben Jonson's "The Alchemist".
