Women's madness in three major dramatic traditions: Greek, Elizabethan, and Japanese Noh

This dissertation concerns woman's madness in dramas of three different cultures: Ancient Greece, Elizabethan England, and Medieval Japan. Delineation of women's four social roles (virgin, wife, mother, and crone) is a methodological tool to analyze women's madness caused by friction between individual emotional needs and social roles ascribed by the several patriarchal systems.
