III.Resolution.5.How to do it.6.Coda.After Dickens is both a performative reading of Dickens the novelist and an exploration of the potential for adaptive performance of the novels themselves. John Glavin conducts a historical inquiry into Dickens's relationship to the theatre and theatricality of his own time, and uncovers a much more ambivalent, often hostile, relationship than has hitherto been noticed. In this context, Dickens's novels can be seen as a form of counter-performance, one which would allow the author to perform without being seen or scrutinized. But Glavin also identifies a rich performative potential in Dickens's fiction, and describes new ways to stage that fiction in emotionally powerful, critically acute adaptations. The book as a whole, therefore, offers a reading of Dickens through an unusual alliance between literary criticism and theatrical performance.Cambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ;20.Performing artsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryPerforming arts in literatureStage adaptationsPerforming artsHistoryPerforming arts in literature.Stage adaptations.823/.8Glavin John1673067MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818681703321After Dickens4036905UNINA
