Renaissance Drama, an annual and interdisciplinary publication, is devoted to drama and performance as a central feature of Renaissance culture. The essays in each volume explore traditional canons of drama, the significance of performance (broadly construed) to early modern culture, and the impact of new forms of interpretation on the study of Renaissance plays, theater, and performance. Volume XXIV, "Perspectives on Renaissance Drama," includes essays that focus on a wide range of topics about the drama in England, France, and Italy, including female-female eroticism, women's silences in Renaissance texts, early Jacobean political tragedy, and virginity in John Lyly's Love's Metamorphosis.
