Full Description
This volume tracks the evolution of gothic drama through nineteenth-century print culture. Gothic novels, such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), found new audiences when they were adapted to the stage, and gothic novelists, such as Horace Walpole, Monk Lewis and Charles Maturin, also wrote gothic dramas, which were much more lucrative for authors than the novels that we remember and reprint today. By including a volume on drama, this collection not onlymakes available rare plays and associated advertisements and posters, but also bridges the gap between Romantic and Victorian gothic fiction and early gothic film, providing a fuller picture of the development of the gothic across genres and media. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this title will be of great interest to students of literature.
