The Lights o' London and Other Victorian Plays is a new selection
of five nineteenth-century English plays, none of which has been
recently available in print. Each represents vividly and
masterfully the three dominant dramatic forms of the Victorian era:
melodrama, farce, and comedy. All were extremely popular with
audiences, and much vigour, excitement, and variety of dramatic
expression of their time can be found in these texts. Included are
Edward Fitzball's The Inchcape Bell; Joseph Stirling Coyne's Did
You Ever Send Your Wife to Camberwell?; The Game of Specualtion by
George Henry Lewes; George Robert Sims's he Light's 'o London; and
The Middleman by Henry Arthur Jones. The texts of the plays have
been newly edited and are presented with an introduction and
detailed annotation.
