Henry James's experience of drama began in the New York theatres of
his 1850s childhood; in Europe he became familiar with the London
theatre and the Theatre-Francais in Paris. He went on to experiment
continuously with the 'scenic art' in his fiction, and to write
plays himself. This complete collection of James's essays and
reviews on drama discusses a range of theatre, including
productions of Shakespeare, Tennyson, 'well-made' French plays and
early performances of Ibsen. In addition, he characterises some of
the great performers of the day, including Irving, Terry, Kemble,
Ristori, Coquelin and Salvini. Readers will find James's texts as
they first appeared, with a wealth of editorial support, which
evokes the colourful world of late Victorian theatre. Many of the
items included have not previously been available in a scholarly
edition. The editorial apparatus includes a general introduction, a
chronology, a textual variants section, and a biographical guide to
actors.
