Shakespeare Among the Courtesans: Prostitution, Literature, and Drama, 1500-1650 - Anglo-Italian Renaissance Studies New edition
Duncan Salkeld
Focuses not only on the moral ambivalence of these women, but with attention to Anglo-Italian relations, illuminates little known aspects of their lives. This title traces the courtesan from a stock comedic character in the plays of Terence and Plautus to its literary exhaustion in the seventeenth-century dramatic works of Dekker, and Marston.
