The study presents a stylistic analysis of the language of the first extant original play published by a woman in English, Elizabeth Cary’s The Tragedy of Mariam, The Faire Queene of Jewry. Through the application of computational stylistics, the paper seeks to explain the degree to which the linguistic features identified as being peculiar to Mariam might be more generally ascribed to closet drama as opposed to drama written for the public stage. The author argues that a linguistic analysis highlights the extent of Cary’s engagement with contemporary intellectual, political, and social debate and suggests a way of repositioning the text within the divergent male-authored traditions with which it connects.
