Novelists have long been attracted to theatre. Some have pursued
success on the stage, but many have sought to combine these worlds,
entering theatre through their fiction, setting stages on their
novels’ pages, and casting actors, directors, and playwrights as
their protagonists. The Routledge Companion to Theatre-Fiction has
convened an international community of scholars to explore the
remarkable array of novelists from many eras and parts of the world
who have created fiction from the stuff of theatre, asking what
happens to theatre on the pages of novels, and what happens to
novels when they collaborate with theatre. From J. W. Goethe to
Louisa May Alcott, Mikhail Bulgakov, Virginia Woolf, and Margaret
Atwood, some of history’s most influential novelists have written
theatre-fiction, and this Companion discusses many of these figures
from new angles. But it also spotlights writers who have received
less critical attention, such as Dorothy Leighton, AgustÃn de
Rojas Villandrando, Ronald Firbank, Syed Mustafa Siraj, Li Yu, and
Vicente Blasco Ibañez, bringing their work into conversation with
a vital field. A valuable resource for students, scholars, and
admirers of both theatre and novels, The Routledge Companion to
Theatre-Fiction offers a wealth of new perspectives on topics of
increasing critical concern, including intermediality,
theatricality, antitheatricality, mimesis, diegesis, and
performativity.
