The period 1890-1940 was a particularly rich and influential phase
in the development of modern English theatre: the age of Wilde and
Shaw and a generation of influential actors and managers from
Irving and Terry to Guilgud and Olivier. Jean Chothia's study is in
two parts beginning with a portrait of the period, setting the
narrative context and considering the dramatic social and cultural
changes at work during this time. It then focuses on some of the
main themes in the theatre, from Shaw and comedy, to the rise of
political and radio drama, providing an interpretative framework
for the period. This volume will be of great benefit to students
and academics of English literature and drama, as it covers the
work of the major dramatists of the period as well as considering
the dramatic output of literary figures, such as James, Eliot and
Lawrence.
