Synopsis :

This is a new selection of five English nineteenth-century plays, none of which has been recently available. In the case of "The Lights o' London", a famous drama of the 1880s, no printed text has ever before been published. Each of the plays represents the three dominant dramatic forms of the Victorian era: melodrama, farce and comedy. All were extremely popular with audiences, and much of the vigour, excitement and variety of dramatic expression of their time can be found in these texts.

Présentation de l'éditeur: A scholarly edition of Victorian plays.  The edition presents an authoritative text, together with an introduction, commentary notes, and scholarly apparatus.
