It is a generally accepted fact that in the first half of the
nineteenth century, Catherine Gore became the most prolific, if not
most popular writer of fashionable novels in England. It is less
well known that Mrs. Gore's 200-volume output included eleven
extremely popular, if not always critically successful, plays,
performed at all three of the Theatres Royal in London: Drury Lane,
Covent Garden, and the Haymarket. While several of the plays held
the stage in England and the United States well into the second
half of the nineteenth century, modern critical appraisals of the
works have been hampered by the lack of available texts. "Gore on
Stage, " for the first time provides performance texts of all of
Mrs. Gore's work for the stage, including original cast lists,
criticial responses, illustrations, and glossaries of foreign words
and nineteenth-century jargon. Students of drama and
nineteenth-century literature will delight in the intricacies of
plot and theatrical effects in this collection of historical
melodramas, comedies of manners, and farces; and they will marvel
at the contemporary nature of the plays' themes, trading on a
balance of power between male and female characters.
