This is the first in-depth study of a female audience that shows how and why women went to the theater in Restoration England. Robert challenges the assumption that a "ladies' faction" played an important part in encouraging the playhouses to present a more moral, less bawdy or "satirical" style of comedy, thus changing the course of English drama. He shows that there is no evidence of this faction, and that "sentimental" comedies really did cater to the interest of their female audience by incorporating the fashionable concern for women's rights. Drawing on many sources, including the life of Elizabeth Pepys, the book investigates just who these "ladies" were, what determined their theater-going, how often they went, what they liked and did in the theater, and the role of patronage at the court of three Restoration queens.

The ladies
Rating as a 1 since I can't rate it zero.
Coming from a family where Holt was considered practically a god, I can speak to the ideals in his books. Holt says he learned about the sexual needs of children by spending large amounts of time babysitting his friends' infants and small children. He claims small children have sexual needs and should not be denied sexual pleasure. (Walks like a pedo, talks like a pedo... you get my drift.)
Look at pedophile apologist boards and Holt's work comes up everywhere. His insistence on children's "right" to sex and his battle against the age of consent should set up warning flags all over the place. The book is routinely used by pro-pedophile groups to bolster their argument that pedophilia is "just another natural expression of love".
I and eight siblings were "unshcooled" according to the principles he set forth in his so-called "homeschooling" book, and my "bio'rents" (TM)also held to his beliefs in this book as well - I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to what growing up in that household was like.
