The London theatres arguably were the central cultural institutions in England during the Romantic period, and certainly were arenas in which key issues of the time were contested. While existing anthologies of Romantic drama have focused almost exclusively on closet dramas rarely performed on stage, The Broadview Anthology of Romantic Drama instead provides a broad sampling of works representative of the full range of the drama of the period. It includes the dramatic work of canonical Romantic poets (Samuel Coleridges Remorse, Percy Shelleys The Cenci, and Lord Byrons Sardanapalus) and important plays by women dramatists (Hannah Cowleys A Bold Stroke for a Husband, Elizabeth Inchbalds Every One Has His Fault, and Joanna Baillies Orra). It also provides a selection of popular theatrical genresfrom melodrama and pantomime to hippodrama and parodymost popular in the period, featuring plays by George Colman the Younger, Thomas John Dibdin, and Matthew Gregory Lewis. In short, this is the most wideranging and comprehensive anthology of Romantic drama ever published.The introduction by the editors provides an informative overview of the drama and stage practices of the Romantic Period. The anthology also provides copious supplementary materials, including an Appendix of reviews and contemporary essays on the theater, a Glossary of Actors and Actresses, and a guide to further reading. Each of the ten plays has been fully edited and annotated.
