First published in 2003. Wildly popular in their own day, Victorian
burlesques are now little read, scarcely studied, and never
performed. Giving long overdue emphasis to an unjustly neglected
theatrical tradition, this critical edition - the first to focus on
Victorian burlesques of Victorian plays - represents a valuable
scholarly tool for students and scholars of modern drama, theatre
history, and nineteenth-century popular culture. Victorian
Theatrical Burlesques includes a 'state-of-the-art' introduction
which provides a general overview of theatrical burlesques in the
Victorian era, emphasising performance history. Sustained reference
is made to burlesques other than those presented in the anthology.
Through its general introduction, prefaces and annotations to
individual plays, checklist of burlesque plays, and bibliography,
the unique volume allows both specialist and non-specialist readers
to see Victorian burlesques as a rich historical record of shifting
attitudes toward drama and the theatre.
