The Roaring Girl is a play written by Thomas Middleton in 1611. Set in London, it tells the story of a notorious cross-dressing woman named Moll Cutpurse, who is known for her wild behavior and unconventional lifestyle. Moll is a charismatic and fearless character who challenges traditional gender roles and social norms, and she becomes a source of fascination and admiration for many of the play's other characters. The plot revolves around Moll's relationships with various men, including her lover Sebastian, who is initially unaware of her true identity. Along the way, the play explores themes of love, loyalty, and identity, as well as the tensions between different social classes and the changing roles of women in society. The Roaring Girl is considered a classic of Jacobean drama, and it continues to be performed and studied today for its bold and subversive portrayal of gender and sexuality.Text Is Old English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
