| Summary: | The romantic stage: a many-sided mirror' examines late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British theater 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 theater and drama and situate them at the center 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 intergeneric perspectives. |
