The Orient on the Victorian Stage examines the representation of
the Middle East in a variety of nineteenth-century entertainment
forms, such as panoramas, melodrama, pantomime, ballet and opera.
Ziter argues that changes in stage craft reflected the emerging
idea that the significance of objects was evident in contextual
relations, and relates the development of this stage craft to
orientalist exhibitions and museum displays. Unlike other theatre
histories and studies of orientalism, this book examines broader
strategies of spatial representation and focuses on performance and
popular culture. Ziter explores the plays and productions at a
number of venues, including Drury Lane, Covent Garden, the Great
Exhibition of 1851, the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, and the British
Museum, among others. The book also includes an analysis of Byron's
image in the theatre and an analysis of his play Sardanapalus.
