This work provides the first detailed examination of the bed-trick in English Renaissance drama. Written from a feminist perspective and based on an analysis of over 250 plays, this study places the bed-trick in its historical and theatrical context in order to challenge widely held assumptions about its theatrical history and use on the stage.
