Event Details 

The Plays of Margaret Cavendish
Margaret Cavendish was a seventeenth-century woman who wrote witty, original, and complex plays that were never performed during her lifetime. Together, we
will explore four of her plays, read the play out loud, and discuss it in class. Active participation will be encouraged, but if you are more of a
listener, then you can still join in on the discussion at the end without taking on an “acting” role. The preferred print edition is The Convent of
Pleasure and Other

Plays, edited by Anne Shaver. Margo Kolenda- Mason is finishing her PhD in English, studying medieval and early modern literature.
