During the 1820s and 30s nautical melodramas "reigned supreme" on
London stages, entertaining the mariners and maritime workers who
comprised a large part of the audience for small theatres with the
same sentimental moments and comic interludes of domestic melodrama
mixed with patriotic images that communicated and reinforced
imperial themes. However, generally the study of British theatre
history moves from medieval and renaissance plays directly to the
realism and naturalism of late Victorian and modern drama. Readers
typically encounter a gap between Restoration and
eighteenth-century plays like those of Oliver Goldsmith and Richard
Brinsley Sheridan, and late-nineteenth plays by Henrik Ibsen and
Oscar Wilde. Nineteenth-century drama, with the possible exception
of plays by Byron, Shelley, and Wordsworth, remains all but
invisible. Until recently, melodramatic plays written and performed
during this "gap" received little scholarly attention, but their
value as reflections of Britain's promulgation of imperial ideology
- and its role in constructing and maintaining class, gender, and
racial identities - have given discussions of melodrama force and
momentum. The plays in included in these three volumes have never
appeared in a critical anthology and most have not been republished
since their original nineteenth-century editions. Each play is
transcribed from the original documents and includes an author
biography, a headnote about the play itself, full annotations with
brief definitions of unfamiliar vocabulary, and explanatory notes.
Comprehensive editorial apparatus details the nineteenth-century
imperial, naval, political, and social history relevant to the
plays' nautical themes, as well as discussing nineteenth-century
theatre history, melodrama generally, and the nautical melodrama in
particular. Contemporary theatre practices - acting, audiences,
staging, lighting, special effects - are also examined. An
extensive bibliography of primary and secondary texts; a complete
index; and contemporary images of the actors, theatres, stage sets,
playbills, costumes, and locales have been compiled to aid study
further. The appendices include maps of Britain, Europe, and the
East and West Indies.

A. Die Zielsetzung des Buches. Die mathematische Logik, die
hinsichtlich ihrer Methode als Mathe- matik, hinsichtlich ihres
Gegenstandes als Logik anzusprechen ist, stellt sich als eines
jener Wissensgebiete dar, auf denen sich gegenwartig die ur-
sprunglichen Interessen der Mathematiker und der nicht originar
mathe- matisch orientierten Geisteswissenschaftler uberschneiden.
Die Gesetz- maBigkeit des Denkens hat sich in weitem MaBe als eine
so1che von der Art mathematischer GesetzmaBigkeiten enthlillt, und
keine Logik kann an diesem Tatbestand mehr vorbeigehen, so wie
heute etwa keine Physik mehr den analogen Tatbestand ignoriert. Das
vorliegende Buch will sich demgemaB - wie die ihm zugrunde
liegenden mehrfach gehaltenen Vorlesungen es wollten - zunachst an
Mathematiker, zugleich aber auch an mathematisch interessierte
Nicht- mathematiker - hiervor allem eben: an
geisteswissenschaftlich orien- tierte Logiker - wenden. Diesem
Ausgangsimpuls entspringt eine doppelte Zielsetzung. Einerseits
will das Buch - im Gegensatz zu bloBen Anfangerbuchem - in jedem
angeschnittenen Problemkreis bis zu seinen zentralen
Fragestellungen vordringen und sie in exakter mathematischer
Behandlungsweise beantworten. Andererseits solI es jedoch
gleichzeitig mathematisch ausgebildeten Lesem das Instrumen- den
nebenfachlich tarium, das zum vollen Erfassen des mathematischen
Gehaltes des Stoffes natig ist, in die Hand geben.
