The Romantic Stage

A Many-Sided Mirror

丛编：

The Romantic Stage: A Many-Sided Mirror examines late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British theatre and drama with the conviction that they made an essential contribution to the aesthetic and ideological complexity of the British culture of the day. The essays collected in this volume seek to capture the richness and diversity of British Romantic theatre and drama and situate them at the centre of the multiple, and often radical, literary and social transformations that the Age brought about. The volume is divided into four main sections: “Contextualizing Romantic Theatre and Drama”, “Drama across the Arts”, “Staging the Gothic (Fear on Stage)” and “Texts, Theories and Contexts”. Each section is dedicated to a particular aspect of English Romantic drama examined through interdisciplinary, international and inter-generic perspectives.

“The popularity of nineteenth-century theatre makes the lack of scholarly attention it has received until recently all the more surprising. Students of theatrical literature traditionally encounter a gap between Restoration and eighteenth-century plays […] Scholars wishing to explore this enormous—and enormously understudied—area of research will find these two books very useful places to start.” - Arnold Anthony Schmidt, California State University Stanislaus, in: European Romantic Review 28.1 (2017), pp. 130-137
