Theatre-Fiction in Britain from Henry James to Doris Lessing
Taylor & Francis
This volume posits and explores an intermedial genre called theatre-fiction, understood in its broadest sense as referring to novels and stories that engage in concrete and sustained ways with theatre. Though theatre has made star appearances in dozens of literary fictions, including many by modern history\u2019s most influential authors, no full-length study has dedicated itself specifically to theatre-fiction\u2014in fact there has not even been a recognized name for the phenomenon. Focusing on Britain, where most of the world\u2019s theatre-novels have been produced, and commencing in the late-nineteenth century, when theatre increasingly took on major roles in novels, Theatre-Fiction in Britain argues for the benefits of considering these works in relation to each other, to a history of development, and to the theatre of their time. New modes of intermedial analysis are modelled through close studies of Henry James, Somerset Maugham, Virginia Woolf, J. B. Priestley, Ngaio Marsh, .
