Telltale Women fundamentally reimagines the relationship
between the history play and its source material as an intertextual one,
presenting evidence for a new narrative about how—and why—these genres
disparately chronicle the histories of royal women. Allison Machlis
Meyer challenges established perceptions of source study,
historiography, and the staging of gender politics in well-known drama
by arguing that chronicles and political histories frequently value
women’s political interventions and use narrative techniques to invest
their voices with authority. Dramatists who used these sources for their
history plays thus encountered a historical record that offered
surprisingly ample precedents for depicting women’s perspectives and
political influence as legitimate, and writers for the commercial
theater grappled with such precedents by reshaping source material to
create stage representations of royal women that condemned queenship and
female power.
By tracing how the sanctioning of women’s
political participation changes from the narrative page to the dramatic
stage, Meyer demonstrates that gender politics in both canonical and
noncanonical history plays emerge from playwrights’ intertextual
engagements with a rich alternative view of women in the narrative
historiography of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
