Jane Eyre on Stage, 18481898 (The Nineteenth Century Series)
by Patsy Stoneman
"Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre was published in October, 1847, and within three months a version was on stage in London. By 1900, at least eight different stage versions had appeared in England, America and continental Europe. For the first time, all eight plays are available in Patsy Stoneman's critical edition, illustrated by facsimile reproductions of manuscripts, unique Victorian playbills, contemporary etchings of theatres and portraits of playwrights and actors. Stoneman's introduction places the plays' bizarre innovations in the context of theatre history and of contemporary debates on class and gender, while each edited play-text is accompanied by detailed notes, based on original research, on the playwright, theatre(s) and performances and contemporary reception."--BOOK JACKET.
