The contributions to this book constitute a concerted account of
the place of Shakespeare in the Victorian theatre and the cultural
life of the country in the nineteenth century. They explore the
changing styles of acting and staging used for Shakespeare's plays
by Macready, Charles Kean, the Irvings, Ellen Terry and Beerbohm
Tree, and examine Shakespeare's influence on Victorian dramatists
(Sheridan Knowles, Albery and W.S. Gilbert) and the relationship
between the stage and the allied arts of painting (David Scott, the
Pre-Raphaelites and Alma-Tadema) and music (Sullivan). During Queen
Victoria's reign Shakespeare's plays attracted new audiences from
the court at Windsor to such rapidly expanding conurbations as
Leicester and Sheffield. In France, Germany, Italy and the New
World, Shakespeare effectively became an ambassador of Britain's
growing power and influence. The book develops a fascinating and
well-illustrated account of these changes.
