Though Romantic elements in stage design are often thought to have
ended with the advent of the Victorian era, they in fact persisted
into the second half of the nineteenth century. Romantic stages
were used in the productions of many of the most prominent
actor-managers of the period, including Madame Vestris, Charles
Kean, Wilson Barrett, Henry Irving and Herbert Beerbohm Tree. This
work shows how the emphasis placed on the visual elements of
Victorian productions - the spectacular romantic settings and
historically accurate costumes - revolutionized the position that
stage designers held. They emerged from anonymity, becoming
recognized and highly-praised collaborators in the creative
process.
