Victorian Writers and the Stage

The Plays of Dickens, Browning, Collins and Tennyson

Beschreibung

This book examines the dramatic work of Dickens, Browning, Collins, and Tennyson, their interaction with the theatrical world, and their attempts to develop their reputations as playwrights. These major Victorian writers each authored several professional plays, but why has their achievement been overlooked?

Rezensionen

"Pearson's work makes significant contributions to the study of each of its four central authors and connects in interesting ways with work undertaken on female authorship and the stage in relation to writers like Charlotte Brontë and Mary Elizabeth Braddon. Victorian Writers and the Stage is a valuable and highly insightful monograph that traverses literary and theatrical history with ease." (Beth Palmer, English Studies, Vol. 98 (2), 2017)
