Shelley's tragedy, The Cenci, has been regarded as an avant-garde
attack on orthodox Christian principles, a celebrated cause for
Victorian intellectuals, a vehicle for innovative minds of the
theater, a historical oddity, a neglected masterpiece. Derived from
the dark legends of one of Rome's great families, the Cenci records
a history of sadism, incest, and murder. Shelley's one actable play
has received little attention in modern times. Professor Curran
studies it first as a poem-its patterns, themes, imagery-then as a
play. After showing its relationship to England's Regency theater,
he analyzes the fascinating course of its stage history, and finds
Shelley foreshadowing such modern emphases as psychodrama, the
existential vision, the Theatre of Cruelty Originally published in
1970. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
