Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Sheridan to Robertson' is a comprehensive and scholarly exploration of the transformation of the London stage during a pivotal century of theatrical history. Spanning the period from the late eighteenth century to the mid-Victorian era, Ernest Bradlee Watson traces the evolution of British drama from the classic wit of Richard Brinsley Sheridan to the revolutionary realism of Thomas William Robertson. This work delves into the complex dynamics of the London theater world, examining the decline of the monopoly held by the patent theaters, the rise of the minor houses, and the shifting tastes of the playgoing public.Watson provides detailed analysis of the changing techniques in acting, scenic design, and stage management that defined the era. The book highlights the transition from rhetorical, grand-scale performances to the 'cup-and-saucer' realism that Robertson pioneered, marking the birth of modern drama. Through meticulous research, the author illustrates how social changes and legal battles over theatrical licenses influenced the creative output of the time.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development of English stagecraft in the early 19th century, showing how it influenced the written drama of the time. The author, a professor of English, argues that stagecraft and written drama are inextricably linked, and that neither can be fully understood without reference to the other. The author provides a detailed account of the major theatrical innovations of the period, such as the introduction of gas lighting and the use of elaborate stage machinery, and shows how these changes affected the way plays were written and performed. The book also explores the changing relationship between the theatre and its audiences, as the rise of a democratic, middle-class audience led to a shift in the types of plays that were popular. The author concludes by arguing that the innovations of the early 19th century stage had a profound impact on the development of modern drama, making possible the more realistic and naturalistic styles of the late 19th and 20th centuries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
