Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This workshop will explore the dramatic literature of the Victorian age and place it in the context of the theatrical landscape. While many critics regard the nineteenth century as an age of the theatre rather than of drama, a variety of dramatic genres emerged during the period which had a considerable impact on the development of modern drama. Presentations will deal with dramatic and theatrical aspects as well as with cultural and political contextualisation.
Assessment and permitted materials
Regular attendance, oral presentation, active participation in discussions in class, final essay.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Introduction to a comparatively neglected yet highly significant and fascinating corpus of works for the stage. Make students familiar with genres such as melodrama, farce, well-made play and society comedy.
Examination topics
Introduction to the theory and analysis of drama; contextualization of the plays; students' presentations, class discussions.
Reading list
A reader will be provided at the beginning of term; will include plays by Watts Philips, Tom Taylor, Thomas William Robertson, Henry Arthur Jones, Arthur Wing Pinero and Oscar Wilde.
