After Dickens is both a performative reading of Dickens the
novelist and an exploration of the potential for adaptive
performance of the novels themselves. John Glavin conducts a
historical inquiry into Dickens's relationship to the theatre and
theatricality of his own time, and uncovers a much more ambivalent,
often hostile, relationship than has hitherto been noticed. In this
context, Dickens's novels can be seen as a form of
counter-performance, one which would allow the author to perform
without being seen or scrutinized. But Glavin also identifies a
rich performative potential in Dickens's fiction, and describes new
ways to stage that fiction in emotionally powerful, critically
acute adaptations. The book as a whole, therefore, offers a reading
of Dickens through an unusual alliance between literary criticism
and theatrical performance.
