English Romanticism has long been considered an 'undramatic' and
'anti-theatrical' age, yet Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley
and Keats all wrote plays and viewed them as central to England's
poetic and political reform. In the Theatre of Romanticism analyses
these plays, in the context of London theatre at the time, and
argues that Romantic discourse on theatre is crucial to
constructions of nationhood in the period. The book focuses
primarily on Coleridge and on the middle stage of his career,
during which he wrote most extensively for and about the theatre.
But its discussion of anxieties about women in Coleridge's plays
applies just as forcefully to the history plays of the
second-generation romantic poets, and to the best-known romantic
writers on theatre: Hazlitt, Hunt and Lamb. Unlike the few existing
studies of romantic drama, this study considers the plays not as
closet drama or 'mental theatre', but as theatrical contributions
to the debate sparked off by the Revolution in France.
