Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, and other late-Victorian dramatists challenged romanticized ideals of love and domesticity, and in the process, these authors appropriated and rewrote the genre conventions that had dominated English drama for much of the nineteenth century. In their plays, theater became a forum for debating the problems of traditional marriage and envisioning alternative forms of partnership. This book is written for scholars specializing in the areas of Victorian studies, dramatic literature, theater history, performance studies, and gender studies. 410 0$aBernard Shaw and His Contemporaries,$x2634-582X 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aActors 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aTheatre History 606 $aPerformers and Practitioners 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aActors. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 14$aTheatre History. 615 24$aPerformers and Practitioners. 615 24$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 676 $a822.709 676 $a792.09 700 $aChristian$b Mary$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01228735 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484495403321 996 $aMarriage and Late-Victorian Dramatists$92852624 997 $aUNINA
