内容説明・目次
内容説明
Byron at the Theatre is a collection of essays by a wide spectrum of European scholars, dealing with Byron's dramas in a variety of ways. It starts with a long and detailed introduction on Byron and Drury Lane, incorporating much recent research done on the riotous and squalid conditions of the theatre in Regency London - conditions which go far towards explaining Byron's distaste for the idea of theatrical success.There follows a chapter about the influence on Byron of Vittorio Alfieri, a vital subject which has not been written about thoroughly for over a century, and which goes far to explain what motivated Byron's experiments in classical drama. The main body of the essays discuss Byron's plays from thematic perspectives, and examine Byron himself as a figure in the dramas of Goethe and Stoppard. There is a chapter on Rudolph Nureyev's little-known Manfred ballet, and another on Byron himself as a dramatic performer.Byron at the Theatre is a vital book for anyone interested in this much-discussed but little-understood aspect of Byron's life and work.
