The London theatres arguably were the central cultural institutions
in England during the Romantic period, and certainly were arenas in
which key issues of the time were contested. While existing
anthologies of Romantic drama have focused almost exclusively on
"closet dramas" rarely performed on stage, The Broadview Anthology
of Romantic Drama instead provides a broad sampling of works
representative of the full range of the drama of the period. It
includes the dramatic work of canonical Romantic poets (Samuel
Coleridge's Remorse, Percy Shelley's The Cenci, and Lord Byron's
Sardanapalus) and important plays by women dramatists (Hannah
Cowley's A Bold Stroke for a Husband, Elizabeth Inchbald's Every
One Has His Fault, and Joanna Baillie's Orra). It also provides a
selection of popular theatrical genres-from melodrama and pantomime
to hippodrama and parody-most popular in the period, featuring
plays by George Colman the Younger, Thomas John Dibdin, and Matthew
Gregory Lewis. In short, this is the most wide-ranging and
comprehensive anthology of Romantic drama ever published. The
introduction by the editors provides an informative overview of the
drama and stage practices of the Romantic Period. The anthology
also provides copious supplementary materials, including an
Appendix of reviews and contemporary essays on the theater, a
Glossary of Actors and Actresses, and a guide to further reading.
Each of the ten plays has been fully edited and annotated.
