This book examines plays produced in England in the 1890s and early
1900s and the ways in which these plays responded to changing
perceptions of marriage. Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, and other
late-Victorian dramatists challenged romanticized ideals of love
and domesticity, and, in the process, these authors appropriated
and rewrote the genre conventions that had dominated English drama
for much of the nineteenth century. In their plays, theater became
a forum for debating the problems of traditional marriage and
envisioning alternative forms of partnership. This book is written
for scholars specializing in the areas of Victorian studies,
dramatic literature, theater history, performance studies, and
gender studies.
