The Oxford Handbook of the Georgian Theatre 1737-1832 provides an
essential guide to theatre in Britain between the passing of the
Stage Licensing Act in 1737 and the Reform Act of 1832 - a period
of drama long neglected but now receiving significant scholarly
attention. Written by specialists from a range of disciplines, its
forty essays both introduce students and scholars to the key texts
and contexts of the Georgian theatre and also push the boundaries
of the field, asking questions that will animate the study of drama
in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries for years to come.
The Handbook gives equal attention to the range of dramatic forms -
not just tragedy and comedy, but the likes of melodrama and
pantomime - as they developed and overlapped across the period, and
to the occasions, communities, and materialities of theatre
production. It includes sections on historiography, the censorship
and regulation of drama, theatre and the Romantic canon, women and
the stage, and the performance of race and empire. In doing so, it
shows the centrality of theatre to Georgian culture and politics,
and paints a picture of a stage defined by generic fluidity and
experimentation; by networks of performance that spread far beyond
London; by professional women who played pivotal roles in every
aspect of production; and by its complex mediation of contemporary
attitudes of class, race, and gender.
