More about the book

Focusing on the practice of stage adaptation during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, this book explores how works by authors like William Godwin, Walter Scott, and Charles Dickens were transformed for the stage. Through detailed case studies, it examines the interplay between these adaptations and the original texts, highlighting themes of social and political justice, identity, and the rise of the professional writer. The analysis provides valuable context for understanding the production and reception of canonical literature from this era.
