During the reign of Queen Victoria, herself an ardent theatregoer
as well as Supreme Governor of the Church of England, a remarkable
rapprochement was effected between the Church and the stage. This
1997 book explores the implications for the theatre of the great
religious movements of the period: Tractarianism, Christian
Socialism and Latitudinarianism. This central relationship is seen
in the context of other important themes in Victorian cultural
history such as censorship, urbanization, transport, leisure,
self-improvement and women's emancipation. The volume contains
portraits of significant churchmen, dramatists, actors and
actresses, including Newman and Keble, Bulwer Lytton and Shaw,
Irving, Fanny Kemble and Ellen Terry. They were amongst the
influential figures who participated in the search for a common
culture which preoccupied the nineteenth century. To the Victorians
the Church and the theatre were important parts of everyday life;
in this study the two institutions are explored in relation not
only to each other but also to the social, economic and
intellectual movements of the period.
