After Dickens - Reading, Adaptation and Performance

Klappentext A study of Dickens's hostility to theatre and theatricality alongside the huge performative potential of his fiction. Zusammenfassung John Glavin uncovers a richly ambivalent! often unexpectedly hostile! relationship between Dickens and the theatre and theatricality of his own time. Yet he also explores the performative potential in Dickens's fiction! and describes ways to stage that fiction in emotionally powerful! critically acute adaptations.
