The Lights o' London and Other Victorian Plays is a new selection of five English nineteenth century plays, none of which has been recently available in print. Each of the plays represents vividly and masterfully the three dominant dramatic forms of the Victorian era: melodrama, farce, and comedy. All were extremely popular with audiences, and much vigour, excitement, and variety of dramatic expression of their time can be found in these texts. This volume significantly enlarges the choice of period playtexts available to actors, directors and students. Under the General Editorship of Michael Cordner, of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with a scholarly introduction and detailed annotation.
