About this book

This collection of essays sets out to challenge the dominant narrative about Victorian theatre by placing the practices and products of the Victorian theatre in relation to Victorian visual culture, through the lens of the concept of 'Ruskinian theatre', an approach to theatre which values its educative purpose as well as its aesthetic expression.

Reviews

'One of the real delights of this volume is its challenge to the distinctions of 'high' and 'low' culture.' - The Journal of Theatre Research International
