1743 1809 Belle Cowley Curly Curtain Dramatist Hannah Asse
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Hannah Cowley, Comic Dramatist, aka Belle Asse," showcases the renowned English playwright, Hannah Cowley, in the prime of her career. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the late 18th century, Cowley is depicted holding a curtain and smiling warmly at the viewer. Her voluminous, curly hair cascades down her shoulders, adding to her allure. Born in 1743, Cowley made her mark in the male-dominated world of English theatre with her witty and insightful comedies. Her plays, which often explored the complexities of human relationships, were well-received by audiences and critics alike. One of her most famous works, "The Belle's Stratagem," premiered in 1780 and became a theatrical sensation. The title "Belle Asse" was a nickname given to Cowley due to her striking beauty and grace. This print captures her in a moment of quiet reflection, perhaps contemplating her next literary creation. The book in her hand serves as a reminder of the power of the written word and the impact it can have on the world. This historical print offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied the conventions of her time and left an indelible mark on the literary landscape. It is a testament to Cowley's talent, intelligence, and charisma, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the arts to inspire and delight.
