This is the first full-length study of Shelley's plays in
performance. It offers a rich, meticulously researched history of
Shelley's role as a playwright and dramatist and a reassessment of
his "closet dramas" as performable pieces of theatre. With chapters
on each of Shelley's dramatic works, the book provides a thorough
discussion of the poet's stagecraft, and analyses performances of
his plays from the Georgian period to today. In addition, Mulhallen
offers details of the productions Shelley saw in England and Italy,
many not identified before, as well as a vivid account of the
actors and personalities that constituted the theatrical scene of
his time. Her research reveals Shelley as an extraordinarily
talented playwright, whose fascination with contemporary theatrical
theory and practice seriously challenges the notion that he was a
reluctant dramatist. This study is a major contribution to recent
reassessments of Shelley's work and an invaluable resource for
anybody interested in Romantic writing and the history of theatre.
