This volume posits and explores an intermedial genre called
theatre-fiction, understood in its broadest sense as referring to
novels and stories that engage in concrete and sustained ways with
theatre. Though theatre has made star appearances in dozens of
literary fictions, including many by modern history's most
influential authors, no full-length study has dedicated itself
specifically to theatre-fiction-in fact there has not even been a
recognized name for the phenomenon. Focusing on Britain, where most
of the world's theatre-novels have been produced, and commencing in
the late-nineteenth century, when theatre increasingly took on
major roles in novels, Theatre-Fiction in Britain argues for the
benefits of considering these works in relation to each other, to a
history of development, and to the theatre of their time. New modes
of intermedial analysis are modelled through close studies of Henry
James, Somerset Maugham, Virginia Woolf, J. B. Priestley, Ngaio
Marsh, Angela Carter, and Doris Lessing, all of whom were deeply
involved in the theatre-world as playwrights, directors, reviewers,
and theorists. Drawing as much on theatre scholarship as on
literary theory, Theatre-Fiction in Britain presents
theatre-fiction as one of the past century's most vital means of
exploring, reconsidering, and bringing forth theatre's potentials.
