The Politics of Romantic Theatricality, 1787-1832: The Road to the Stage (Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print)
Description
This book sets out the political and cultural conditions regulating dramatic writing during an era of censorship and monopolistic royal theatres. Using a range of plays and manuscripts, it argues for the centrality of burletta, the theatrical locus of the attacks on the Cockney school of poetry and the vitality of the metropolitan dramatic scene.
