Marriage and Late-Victorian Dramatists[electronic resource] /by Mary Christian. - 1st ed. 2020. - XII, 203 p.online resource. - Bernard Shaw and His Contemporaries,2634-5811. - Bernard Shaw and His Contemporaries,.

1. Marriage, Theater, and Theatrical Marriage -- 2. Doll and Director: Ibsen’s Old and New Drama -- 3. Wilde’s Personal Drama -- 4. Pinero’s Old-Fashioned Playgoer -- 5. Henry Arthur Jones and the Business of Morality -- 6. Shaw’s Marriage Sermons -- 7. A Woman’s Play: Elizabeth Robins and Suffrage Drama.

This book examines plays produced in England in the 1890s and early 1900s and the ways in which these plays responded to changing perceptions of marriage. Bernard Shaw, Oscar Wilde, and other late-Victorian dramatists challenged romanticized ideals of love and domesticity, and in the process, these authors appropriated and rewrote the genre conventions that had dominated English drama for much of the nineteenth century. In their plays, theater became a forum for debating the problems of traditional marriage and envisioning alternative forms of partnership. This book is written for scholars specializing in the areas of Victorian studies, dramatic literature, theater history, performance studies, and gender studies.
