Aphra Behn, Susannah Centlivre, Hannah Cowley, and Elizabeth Inchbald were the only four women in England who enjoyed career-long success as comicplaywrights from 1670-1800. Their respective approaches to the body, contracts, nationalism, and divorce animate their comedies and provide comic comment on the marriage plot. By attending to the dialogue between humorous comic events and the more predictable comic endings of these plays, Anderson illuminates the philosophical, political, and legal arguments about women and marriage that fascinated both female playwrights and the theatergoing public.

A contemporary thriller / horror comic book series.
Suggested for mature readers only (over 13).

First issued in 1988, this is your chance to enjoy a more thoughtful story telling than the traditional comic.

This companion to Shakespeare’s comedies contains original essays on every comedy from The Two Gentlemen of Verona to Twelfth Night as well as twelve additional articles on such topics as the humoral body in Shakespearean comedy, Shakespeare’s comedies on film, Shakespeare’s relation to other comic writers of his time, Shakespeare’s cross-dressing comedies, and the geographies of Shakespearean comedy.

Again a graphic novel (oh, c'mon, people! Just a comic!!!) - this time based upon "Lord Jim". Sadly, not so easy to obtain now as a nicely scanned text.
Both the text and audio of the novel, not the comic! are to be found on Gutenberg project here: http://www.gutenberg.org
