Originally published in 1971. The Victorian Age was one of popular
theatre and increasingly popular journalism. One manifestation of
this journalism was the emergence of the dramatic critic from the
anonymity and brevity which had previously characterized periodical
treatment of the theatre. If Victorian theatre is regarded as
existing essentially thirty years before Victoria acceded and
continuing until the outbreak of war in 1914, the names of Lamb,
Leigh Hunt and Hazlitt at one end, and of Beerbohm and MacCarthy at
the other, can be added to a list that includes Lewes, James,
Archer, Walkley, Shaw and Montague. All these writers, and others
less famous, are represented in this selection. By selecting the
articles on the basis of the play in performance, rather than the
play as literature, and by arranging them according to various
aspects of the theatrical process, this book builds up a skilful
and lively picture of the contemporary theatre at work, in the
words of its leading commentators. The anthology successfully
conveys the qualities of abundance and vitality to characteristic
of Victorian theatre.
