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. 410 0$aCambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture ;$v20. 606 $aPerforming arts$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPerforming arts in literature 606 $aStage adaptations 615 0$aPerforming arts$xHistory 615 0$aPerforming arts in literature. 615 0$aStage adaptations. 676 $a823/.8 700 $aGlavin$b John$01673067 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818681703321 996 $aAfter Dickens$94036905 997 $aUNINA
