xvi, 292pp. Lightly illustrated. Indexed. Laminated card covers. In as new condition throughout. Volume opens with a brief overview of theatre of the time, contextualizing the theatre within the frame of Victorian and Edwardian culture. Explores themes such as aspects of performance, production, and theatre, including the music, the actors, stagecraft and the audiences themselves; plays and playwriting and issues of class and gender are also explored. Chapters also deal with comedy, farce and melodrama, while other essays bring forward new topics and approaches that cross the boundaries of traditional investigation, including analysis of the economics of theatre and of the theatricality of personal identity.
