The Gothic drama came at a critical moment in the history of the
theater, of British culture, and of European politics in the shadow
of France's revolution and the fall of Napoleon. It offered
playwrights a medium to express the prevailing ideological tensions
of romanticism and revolution, and also responded to a growing and
changing theater audience. In a wide-ranging introduction, Cox
explores Gothic drama's links with romanticism and its relation to
other social and ideological shifts of the day. The texts are
presented so as to reflect the dual life of dramatic works-on the
stage and on the page. The plays are annotated and accompanied by
biographic and bibliographic sketches. Includes The Kentish Barons,
by Francis North; Julia of Louvain; or, Monkish Cruelty, by J.C.
Cross; The Castle Spectre, by Matthew G. Lewis; The Captive, by
Matthew G. Lewis; De Monfort, by Joanna Baillie; Bertram; or, The
Castle of St. Aldobrand, by C.R. Maturin; and Presumption; or, The
Fate of Frankenstein, by R.B. Peake.
