Sommario/riassunto

A captivating study of the plays, literature and writings about private and public theatrical spectacle during the Victorian Age. By the 1890's the British theatre had transformed itself into a world where spectacles and public shows were aimed at the widest audience possible. The theatre had become big business. This anthology brings together a variety of plays and prose which sets this phenomenon in perspective and traces the development of Victorian theatricals from private home events in the late-Georgian period to full-scale Gilbert and Sullivan operettas in the 1890's.
