British Theatre and the Other Arts, 1660-1800

by Shirley Strum Kenny (Editor)

Fifteen outstanding scholars of theater, music, art, and literature explore the interrelations of eighteenth-century British theater and the various art forms that it incorporated into itself. The essays examine the theater's increasing reliance on set designers, costumers, musicians and composers, poets, dramatists, and ibrettists, focusing on the ways in which this dependence fundamentally changed the theater. Illustrated.
