内容説明

This collection of essays addresses the following important but largely unanswered questions: What were the social, cultural and ideological conditions under which melodrama became popular among nineteenth-century theatre audiences? How do ideological and social issues such as nationalism, colonialism, ethnicity, race, gender and class surface in melodrama? What was the social and cultural profile of its audiences? How do individual playwrights such as Holcroft and Boucicault represent changes in the generic features of melodrama throughout the course of the century? Responses to these and other questions will emerge in the essays of this innovative collection.
