Marriage and Late-Victorian Dramatists.
- Authors
Remport, Eglantina
- Abstract
Christian's concluding chapter on American-born British actress and playwright Robins is an effective coda to the investigations undertaken in the book as a whole. Mary Christian opens I Marriage and Late-Victorian Dramatists i with a re-examination of the widely held view that, when Henrik Ibsen's I A Doll's House i was first performed at the Novelty Theatre in London in June 1889, it presented Victorian audiences with a marriage plotline that was markedly different from those to which they had been accustomed. Christian focuses on five dramatists from the period: Oscar Wilde, Arthur Wing Pinero, Henry Arthur Jones, George Bernard Shaw, and Elizabeth Robins.
