Book Synopsis
The Gothic drama came at a critical moment in the history of the theater, of British culture, and of European politics in the shadow of France’s revolution and the fall of Napoleon.

Trade Review
“Good texts, notes, and a meaty introduction constitutes this ‘must-have’ item for students of British drama and literary gothicism, in whose development drama was important. Cox’s command of the bibliography relevant to his subject is impressive, and his book will stand as a milestone of content, good scholarship, and clear style.” * Choice *
“Professor Cox explores the full spectrum of the Gothic drama of revolt—political, social, and metaphysical. This volume acquaints us with that world of grand and mysterious intrigue and unravels the tangled threads of accepted, conventional and dogmatic histories of the theater.” * The Byron Journal *
