The plays, monodrama and libretto represent subject-matter from woman-centred history, revolutionary politics, trans-racial adoption and African-diasporic familial heritage, as contoured by the writers' boundary crossing profiles as poets, playwrights, performers and directors. The accompanying critical introductions are provided by people committed to recognising the aesthetic and political significance of the work, and its necessary inclusion in British theatre and literary history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deirdre Osborne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849431485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849431484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oberon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Deirdre Osborne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962697109759,"sku":"9781849431484","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_527b92ae-5f2f-49d3-b9ad-541e677a5843.jpg?v=1750652252","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hidden-gems-volume-ii-deirdre-osborne-9781849431484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
